Hello Michaël, >> - if the function & double stuff are separated ? >> - for the double part, if variables can be double ? > > I just double-checked and could not see a clear use case mentioned in > this thread for double return types, Alas there is one: non uniform random functions which use a double parameter. Once random functions are there, the \setrandom horror code could be removed, which would be a real benefit, IMO:-) So I see a good case to have some support for doubles. > so I would suggest focusing on the integer portion with min(), max(), > abs(), debug() and the existing functions refactored.

Adding double is not too big a deal. I just stopped at variables because I could not see any realistic use for them. My idea was to postpone that till it is actually needed, "never" being the most probable course. Now if this is a blocker for the committer, then I will probably make the effort whatever I think of the usefulness of the feature. -- Fabien.
