We should discuss in R3 chat whether to-decimal should work with issue, and how this relates to the overall conversion strategy when we get one of those. |

This is actually a feature, not a bug. It is a conversion from hex format to decimal, just like with the integer! datatype.
The representation is IEEE 64 bit. >> to-decimal #3FF199999999999A == 1.1 It was requested by Geomol. |

Decimal conversion of issue no longer works:
>> to-decimal #1 ** Script error: cannot MAKE/TO decimal! from: #1 ** Where: to to-decimal ** Near: to decimal! :value Not sure if that is better or worse :) |
