Why Double numeric type is signed ? For me, the table on the help page is confusing. Is it just an error for Double? If yes, are there other error ?

Hi Sebastian,

this is a mistake in the docs, the real range for DOUBLE and Float64 is -1.7E+308 to +1.7E+308.

I will report this to Eros, thanks for the catch!
