> can you add an approximation of the result in the command?
I don't really understand what you're asking here.
If you're asking for the behaviour of multiplication to change so that it becomes more do-what-I-mean-ish, that's not going to happen. You could try writing your own DWIM-style multiplication if that's what you want, but the basic multiplication operator should stay as it is now: a simple wrapper around the C multiplication, which on most machines has a simple, easily-stated and well-defined behaviour: return me the floating-point number that's closest to the exact mathematical result of the multiplication. |
