ross 2003/02/11 04:56:32 PST Modified files: libraries/Hugs Prelude.hs Log: dirty little kludge to make Rational literals work better. In Haskell, floating point literals are applications of fromRational; In Hugs, they're applications of fromDouble, a private method of Fractional. This is fine for the common case where Double is intended, but leads to embarassments like Prelude> 0.3::Rational 5033165 % 16777216 The real solution would be to use Rationals, but that would be hard for an interpreter to optimize. This hack changes fromDouble to yield a decimal fraction, hopefully the one the user gave in the first place, though some precision may be lost, and it doesn't work near the bottom of the range.
