HaloO,
the smart match table in S03 has the Any ~~ Num meaning
numeric equality. But shouldn't that be a bit fuzzier?
E.g. a match $x ~~ $num should check abs($x - $num) < epsilon
with an epsilon that depends on the size of $num.
Also for strings some fuzziness might be a good idea, e.g.
to go c
HaloO,

Int arithmetic in the ranges Inf..^Inf*2 and -Inf*2^..-Inf except

Well, we can of course count downwards from

The strange thing is that we
In a little language that I wrote some time ago, I found it very useful to

f(x) // g(y) does:
* If f(x) returns a defined value, use this value.
* If f(x) returns an undefined value, use the value of g(x) instead.
* If f(x) throws an exception, catch and keep

Yes. IIRC, it was added when I was working on the .Net bytecode

you're doing that, you need to know that the

First of all, it provides a very light-weight exception handling using
