gcd strangeness



hello richard and stavros,

about this proposal,

> (1) we can rename gcd to polygcd and create a new gcd function.
> The new gcd would treat its arguments as numbers
> (or expressions which eventually evaluate to numbers).

> About (1), we recently went through a similar discussion
> about mod and nummod. The outcome was that mod was
> renamed to polymod and nummod to mod.

i wonder if you are willing to take a stand either for or against
this proposal.

all the best,
robert dodier
