Which is probably why you didn't. And you did not realize that in all the presented code, there was _no_ way that would _ever_ generate -0 unless there was a processing error involved. The specified

Adding limited DEC support to LNUM would not be a very big endeavour, actually. Unlike the original idea (1-2 years back) to do all Lua numbers using fixed point arithmetic, DEC mode could simply use

You are correct. I over generalised and did not mean to imply some problem on the part of the lua code. Most of the functions I converted to macros were for string functions. And you are also correc
