Yes, that would be better.  But it will take much more work to
implement.  We'd probably have to use GNU MP, or something like it.
That is one more thing to configure, and one more thing to complicate
installation and use.  So there are at least some arguments against
it.  In the meantime it's nice if we can use floating-point as
accurately as we can.
