New draft (#5) of SRFI 144: Flonums Arthur A. Gleckler 20 Apr 2017 00:18 UTC

I've just published draft #5 of SRFI 144.  It was submitted
by John Cowan, author of the SRFI.

<https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-144/>

I'll repeat John's comments from his earlier message
about this draft:

  Everyone, please comment, especially on issues #1 and #2:

  1) Should the arithmetic procedures that accept
  arbitrarily many arguments (fl=, fl<, fl>, fl<=, fl>=,
  fl+, fl-, fl*, fl/, flmax, flmin) arguments be switched to
  two-argument versions, with supplementary flneg and
  flrecip as the one-argument versions of fl- and fl/? This
  would improve dispatch efficiency on some implementations.

  2) The procedure name fl+* uses Scheme order, whereas the
  function name fma uses C order. Should the Scheme version
  be changed to fl*+?

Here's the diff:
