In particular,
even?,odd?,positive?,negative?,real-valued?and similar primitives.The support is only partial. It's enough to specialize
but it's not enough to reduce
that require a big refinement in the internal type system (planed for later, let's say mid 2026).
In primdata.ss/primvars.s I renamed
nzuinttopintbecause all the other types use that convention.I also made a few new types, to complement the old types:
fixnum: all fixnums (some other types use ans, likesint, so perhaps it shoud besfixnum)pfixnum: positive, i.e.>0nfixnum: (new) negative, i.e.<0ufixnum: unsigned/"up", i.e.>=0dfixnum: (new) ???/"down", i.e.<=0I didn't find a nice name/letter for "
<=0", but sinceuis used for unsigned ">=0", we can reinterpret is as up/down. The letterdis visually different from the others letters to be easy to notice, and it a nice mnemonic.
