2 years ago What is the use case? Personally I never had much of a desire to use double numbers.

While double literals themselves are not that big a feature, they require implementation of m*/ to operate. From the standard:
M*/ was once described by Chuck Moore as the most useful arithmetic operator in Forth. It is the main workhorse in most computations involving double-cell numbers.
It's the only operator that multiplies with a double as an input.
Should these be added to Durexforth?
