Why not add a command-line option to suppress this new exit status behavior, which could then be used when building libraries that deliberately induce serious warnings (such as the common-dylan-test-suite)?

PR #1280 implemented support for the Armv8/AArch64 platform. The relatively large number of 32-bit Arm ABI variants is still a challenge.

The `io` library in Gwydion Dylan has an implementation of this, at https://github.com/dylan-hackers/gwydion/blame/master/common/io/format.dylan Note for future reference that the current state-of-the-art in implementing float-to-string is Ryū, described in https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3192369

For additional reference, https://github.com/jk-jeon/dragonbox is said to be faster than Ryū.

In particular it would be nice if we could generate the README that gets included in the package from https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/blob/master/README.rst (I tried to investigate this but wasn't immediately able to...

Methods that would do this were previously provided, but we removed them in 4b7cb6ff6f3ab134dbd9c29f94afa2dd6fd72f26. At the time we decided it would be best to explicitly do the cast (choosing whether...

This sort of problem usually indicates that something needs to be wrapped in `without-dependency-tracking`; having a backtrace should help identify where.
