+See that "0000003" at the end of the float?
+Floating point numbers /suck/, we only use them because
+computers were small and slow.  Now that they are large
+(sixty-four bits per word!?  Holy shit!) and fast, so
+floating point is no longer necessary.

+(However, in practice, we will still be using it, because

 With a little bit of complexity we could improve efficiency (e.g. using
 VList instead of singly-linked list.)  But I want to tackle efficiency by
 compilation, and write the compiler(s) in Prolog.  I think that avoids
