Re: [pure-lang-users] Proposed syntax changes

[Eddie R. <er...@bm...>]

IMHO, the following rules should be added for pow:

pow n::int (x%y)        |
pow n::bigint (x%y)     |
pow n::double (x%y)     = pow n (x/y);

So that 
 > pow 16 (1%2);
 4.0

instead of the current
 > pow 16 (1%2);
 pow 16 (1L%2L)

e.r.
