Would some good soul please explain what
Number readFrom: '7r6.5'
should return. It is apparently not the same as 7r65 * 0.1 and before I dig deeper (why does this happen, is it a bug or feature) I'd appreciate that someone confirms or rejects (bug | feature).
Thank you.

Because in the expression
7r65 * 0.1
the first value is in base 7 whereas the second is in base 10
7r65 * 7r0.1 IS the same valus as 7r6.5.

Ah! This equation cut my knot, thank you Ken.
