I have this but lacks precision...
a = 1 / 3; // 0.33333333333333
b = a * 3; // 1 why?
c = a + a + a; // 1 why?
// hmmmmm...
0.33333333333333 + 0.33333333333333 + 0.33333333333333; // 0.99999999999999
d = 1 - 0.99999999999999;
d * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 3174
// ...mmmmmmmm...
But that led me to this bizarrerie:
(1/3).postcs
// prints:
0.333333
0.33333333333333
^^^ huh? The compile string has less precision than the normal asString? Smells like a bug.
