Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for your feature request. This actually already exists, it's called the
symbolic package for Octave. Using the functions in the symbolic package gives
you access to algebraic manipulation and to variable-precision calculations.

This is not going to be a part of core Octave, though, Octave is a numerical
tool by nature. But please do use the symbolic package to do what you are
looking for:


>> pkg load symbolic
>> x = sym(1) / 3
x = (sym) 1/3
>> x * 3
ans = (sym) 1
>> x + x + x
ans = (sym) 1
