What do you think of the newer idea of using the IBM floating decimal for all numerics? Tim Peters and others pushed this on me. [...] I am thinking of having all current constant formats default to the "Decimal" type (0, 123, 123.456, 123e3) and have a new constant type using the letter 'f' for the binary "Float" type (0f0, 123f0, 123.456f0, 123.f3).
