Re^4: [Raku] Arcane treatment of doubles and rationals

I'd consider this a bug

Yes, I think there's something that's definitely not right.
For a start, there's never any need to assign an 18-significant-digit (decimal) value to a double.
Whatever value is assigned to a double by the 18-siginificant-digit 0.100000000000000006 will also be assigned by the 17-significant-digit 0.10000000000000001.

As I said (in the reply to myself that I posted shortly after your post), I will raise the issues with them.

Cheers,
Rob
