There was discussion of the #freeciv-dev IRC channel,
which ended with the following proposal (to be added
to README.AI):

"Economic value is always present value, output type
O_GOLD.  Economic value is represented by
double-precision floating point (double)."


I am curious what others think of this proposal.
