I think it's more than reasonable to expect

But what's the justification for that? It *only* makes sense because you used short decimal literals. If the example were: let a = someComplicatedCalculation b = otherComplicatedCalculation c = thirdComplicatedCalculation in [a, b .. c] then it would be far less reasonable to expect the notation to fudge the numbers in favor of obtaining short decimal representations, which is essentially what you're asking for. -- Chris
