[seqfan] Re: Keyword:cons sequences in Maple

[Charles Greathouse]

Honestly it doesn't bother me if programs for cons sequences give the
constant rather than the decimal digits. Except for easy sequences most of
the difficulty is in efficiently computing the constant itself rather than
base conversion which is routine.
