By upgrade, may I take it you mean has the features of REPRESENT as
proposed in Represent_11.txt?
ftp://ftp.taygeta.com/pub/Forth/Applications/ANS/Represent_11.txt
That is, 0 is 0.00E+1, nearest rounding is used for representation,
and a u of 0 gives the nearest rounding if the fp number handed to
REPRESENT is the residual following the last significant place.
Has that been put up for Forth200x? I'd vote for all of those, as well
as a requirement that the buffer handed to REPRESENT be at least four
characters.
