Actually, I forgot, comparisons, esp. equality, were also more frequent than any operations, in the sort of applications of our customers. I optimized the h*ll out of those!

Call? Would love to be a part of any discussions of unums. This is looking very good!

I'm curious now, where the Unum work is currently going on. I've seen @dpsanders' https://github.com/dpsanders/SimpleUnums.jl recently, and https://github.com/REX-Computing/unumjl. I also had a small idea about the parameterization: instead of parameterizing...

Should the ESS/FSS change, for a particular size of AbstractUnum? I.e. if you want to allow for similar ranges of exponents as IEEE, then you'd need exponent max bits =...

If I understood what @JohnLGustafson was say saying, the ubit took the place of the last fraction bit in a "standard" float, but that seems to make things more difficult,...

I've actually found, esp. for decimal floats, that _not_ worrying about having numbers uniquely represented is a big plus, because when operating on them (which, because of the lack of...

I've got to think more about your EMIN proposal (after some more coffee!), but it looks interesting to me.

@johnlgustafson Maybe you should think separately about my comments on format, because I'm wanting to come up with a more compact storage for unums in database records, not necessarily the...

@tbreloff I didn't even mention decimal unums in my last few messages, good that you've opened #4! I just want to take whatever you come up with, and be able...

I don't think that really works, because then you can't store strings with `\0`
