Did you mean "a power of 10" instead? I can't see how it makes sense
right now.
This would be the .perl representation by current spec:
08:46 <@moritz_> rakudo: say 357/12540
08:46 <+p6eval> rakudo 7347ec: 0.0284688995215311
instead of
08:44 <@moritz_> rakudo: say (357/12540).perl
08:44 <+p6eval> rakudo 7347ec: 119/4180
At least I don't see the point of special-casing one trailing zero in
the denominator.
Cheers,
Moritz
