Firstly, shouldn't there also be infinite strings? E.g. 'ab' x Inf

A string whose length is Inf is not itself equal to Inf. But $s.chars >

Let me explain why this is useful and why I think this is "the right thing":
First of all, it provides a very light-weight exception handling using
well-known ideoms like:

In a little language that I wrote some time ago, I found it very useful to
let the // operator catch exceptions:
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

The strange thing is that we

That is you can do the usual
Int arithmetic in the ranges Inf..^Inf*2 and -Inf*2^..-Inf except
that Inf has no predecessor and -Inf no successor. Well, and we lose
commutativity of + and *. I.e. 1 + $a != $a + 1 if $a is transfinite.
Well, we can of course count downwards from

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
