Abstract

This SRFI is an updated version of SRFI 144 that allows an implementation to support multiple flonum representations. Each flonum has its own separate library. Each library also has the ability to inspect properties of the flonum operations, such as rounding mode and deviations from IEEE 754 arithmetic. New flonum operations are also available, such as random number generation and serialization.
