Your issue status for this one says
* REAL-NUMBER-TYPE
Synopsis: add REAL = (OR RATIONAL FLOAT) & range
Version 2, 08-Jan-89
Comment: lengthy dissent; discussion? coercion for comparitor?
Status: need new version
but I think this version is ready to vote up-or-down. Note that
there are two proposals; the REALP predicate function has been
separated out from the REAL data type.

Edit history: 04-JAN-89, Version 1 by Bob Cassels, Don Sakahara, Kent Pitman,
and John Aspinall
08-JAN-89, Version 2 by Bob Cassels -- incorporate
Masinter's suggestion and make REAL a CLOS class
13-JAN-89, Version 3 by Cassels and Aspinall -- incorporate Marc LeBrun's
suggestions clarifying the relationship between CL
numeric type names and mathematical names
Status: For Internal Discussion
We should change "current practice" to note that TI Lisp includes both
the REAL type and REALP predicate.
