Re: I'm a bit lost Re: Meaning of decorations



I agree: a reference implementation for ALL features is most useful and
necessary, if not mandatory.

Many people favor Matlab because almost all attention is focussed
on the mathematical matter, not on implementation issues. Using
Matlab's operator concept it can easily be done from scratch.

I'm new to this mailing list, but I'd like to second the comment by RBK regarding
a reference implementation.

  I am confused by the decoration system, but have
not studied it that much. I suspect that the best way to understand it, personally, is to implement it on top of an interval package I have written (in Lisp). So I would be greatly aided in doing so if there were a reference implementation that included all the required or plausible arithmetic and non-arithmetic operations that are
anticipated.
