feep Nice! From a personal perspective, more interesting than the project itself is perhaps the process. I'd be curious how Claude handles iterative changes when the code becomes less streamlined. Could you write a few sentences about your process, tooling and prompt strategy?

I'm thinking if echo should print the numbers with higher precision, so people will not be confused like this...

pca006132: Then you get just as many bug reports about echo printing the wrong answers. :-P

pca006132: There's ultimate no shortcut around understanding the notion of precision when working sufficiently with floating points.

There has been talk though of adding a print statement with improved formatting.

Hmm, although maybe it would be good for us to address this comprehensively in the manual somewhere, just so we have a place to point people to without reexplaining it so often. And to increase the probability that people will encounter it. While it's identical to issues in other languages, we pick up a lot of users without experience of this issue in other languages.

Therefore I think we have a higher justification for explaining it out a bit in our documentation, enough to explain the basic principle and avoid the gotchas, and then maybe linking or referring to something external for more information.
