Hi Tommi,
I haven't seen it discussed and don't rule out that it could have some value, if suitable space still exists in the current SCM encoding of types.
Personally, though, my hopes are that eventually most actual computation in Guile code would be done unboxed---which is a compilation problem.
Best regards,
Mikael
Has anyone considered implementing floating point values with e.g. 60
bits that could fit into an SCM object? They would be more efficient
than double precision numbers and almost as accurate.
