Thanks for the pointers, but I don't quite understand what "deprecate"
now means.
Doing gettype(1.5) returns "double". There's not way that gettype()
returns "float".
I don't see the implications of this "deprecation" here. What does it
say? The comment in the sourceis there since around 2002 or so. But
there aren't plans to change the behavior or gettype(), are there?
Sorry if I seem nitpicking, I just got more confused after your mail :)
