  • Withdrawn SRFI 218: Unicode Numerals

    From Arthur A. Gleckler@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 30 21:14:07 2021
    Scheme Request for Implementation 218,
    "Unicode Numerals,"
    by John Cowan (text) and Arvydas Silanskas (implementation),
    has gone into withdrawn status.

    The document and an archive of the discussion are available at <https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-218/>.

    Here is John's summary of the reasons for withdrawal:

    1. It only handles a limited number of cases, basically those where
    localized numbers are completely isomorphic to the European digits
    0-9.

    2. It is not suitable as a building block for localized numeric
    parsers and formatters.

    Here is the commit summary since the most recent draft:

    - editorial
    - Withdraw SRFI.

    Thanks to John and Arvydas for their work on this SRFI, and to our
    reviewers for their comments.

    Regards,


    SRFI Editor
