I'll check. Nevertheless, there should be two objectives:
- short term: use the mpfr lib to implement floating points number with
correct rounding
- mid-term: use the gmp lib, which offers arbitrary precision int, rational
(int ratio), and doubles.

For now, I'm checking if I can use this vpa implementation from the symbolic
package.
