This comment has generated a lot of interest, and rightly so. The thing to remember is that Ren (and JSON) are data exchange formats, not in-memory representations. If you need more control than their numeric syntax supports, metadata is your friend. Just include that where needed. That doesn't mean every endpoint will honor or treat them the same, of course.
