# State of Play
## 20260226
The bug in `member` turned out to be because when a symbol is read by the reader,
it has a null character appended as its last character, after all the visibly
printing characters. When the type string is being generated, it doesn't. I've
fudged this for now by giving the type strings an appended null character, but
the right solution is almost certainly to not add the null character in either
case — i.e. revert today's 'fix' and instead fix the reader.
I've also done a lot of documentation, and I've found the courage to do some
investigation on the bignum bug. However, I've workeg until 04:00, which is
neither sane nor healthy, so I shall stop.

A productive day!
