L already has bignum integers which is incredibly handy; it would be nice if it had built-in bignum floats as well so that all arithmetic in the language is arbitrary precision.
If not, a little more specificity in the documentation would be nice. I.e., the docs say:
float is like C's double
Does that mean it is guaranteed to be an IEEE754 double? Note that C's double is not actually guaranteed to be such.
