That's fine!  The wink operator takes any numeric object.  The specific wink
application in question is about 12% stronger than  <1.0 wink>, and jauntily
angled about 27 degrees in the whimsical direction.  I've often thought
polar coordinates would be better for continuous winkery, so that intensity
and degree of whimsy could be read off directly.
