# 'old' is current Rakudo nom implementation of Str.Numeric()
# 'new' is WIP rewrite

# Time to complete tight loop of .Numeric() calls

PERF TEST Δt-old = 7.82440400123596
PERF TEST Δt-new = 10.397479057312


# Comparison of conversion quality; ideal is diagonal matrix.
# 'new' returns Num when it cannot fit the parsed result into
# Int or Rat; when bigint branch merges, this can be fixed.
# The 'other' column for the 'old' implementation turns out
# to be when it outright throws an Exception.
