Re: [lojban] Anyone remember what lerfu strings are actually *for*?
Yeah, digit strings with lerfu are mentioned only in passing, and with
no examples, in the CLL in 18.19.6-7. I agree that those are not
nearly as useful as lerfu strings with digits (unless you are trying
to write a base 36 number, or something???)
