Re: [Scheme-reports] Formal Comment: R7RS 'eqv?' cannot be used for reliable memoization



Another editorial comment.

§6.2.4 (in the last paragraph of the first column of page 34) states that "negative zero is an inexact real value written -0.0 which is distinct (in the sense of eqv?) from 0.0." As we have discussed, this is only true if inexacts conform to IEEE 754-2008. I would suggest qualifying the statement appropriately.

Regards,

Alan
