Re: Voting period begins, until June 21, for Motion P1788.1/M004.02



On Thu, 2 Jun 2016 15:00:19 +0200, Vincent Lefèvre noted an editorial
issue in 6.6.2 (line 9 of page 21):

This is what I suggest be done.

Now, Vincent objects to the same-radix requirement.  Normally I would
object too, but I gave in on my proposal in the 754-2008 work group to
specify cross-radix comparisons as optional, but required to be correct
if provided.  Instead, 754-2008 discourages cross-radix comparisons, and
since 1788.1 derives its numerical basis from 754-2008, I agree with
the restriction that avoids the need for correct cross-radix comparisons.
