"Potential number" is an awesome technical term :) From the glossary: "A textual notation that might be parsed by the Lisp reader in some conforming implementation as a number but is not required to be parsed as a number. No object is a potential number---either an object is a number or it is not." They write pi like this: 3.141_592_653_589_793_238_4 And there's a lot more weird stuff that we probably don't want :D Things like -3.7+2.6i-6.17j+19.6k What's your opinion of having this in Kawa, or do you perhaps have it already?
