Okay. I thought we were talking about code like SLATEC, NSWC, CMLIB, etc. They have (almost) nothing to do with algorithms to find subsets, which I would classify with discrete or combinatorics algorithms.


We were discussing the cost of a writing a system (a new CAS), not
writing new "standard" libraries. In the "new" system there will be
numerical programs using the well tested basic libraries. You have to
see my remarks in this light!

When I write sqrt(2) in a CAS, or writing code that uses sqrt() I do not
want to be bothered by the gory details of the underlying "low-level"
libraries.

This explains my statement
