Good morrow! Why not to define a numeric types representing "procents" or "promiles". These would be useful for beginners and in some applications like Tk. While creating a widget one could set the dimentions either in percents or in pixels. The method would treat numbers as absolute coordinates and percents as relatives to the parent's size. Unfortuantely, the "%" operator is used a lot as remainder operator and for conditional formatting :( And what about types for meters, miles, feets etc. Automatic convertion while assignment whould be useful. But language should support constants of that type. Maybe use letters after digits: 10mm, 15cm, 5,8miles, 4.45kg, 35%. Raising exceptions on trying to add some kilograms to some miles would protect user of a lot of algorithmical mistakes. Aleksei Guzev
