/* Document-class: BigDecimal
 * BigDecimal provides arbitrary-precision floating point decimal arithmetic.
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2002 by Shigeo Kobayashi <shigeo@tinyforest.gr.jp>.
 * You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public
 * License or the Artistic License, as specified in the README file
 * of the BigDecimal distribution.
 *
 * Documented by mathew <meta@pobox.com>.
 *
 * = Introduction
 *
 * Ruby provides built-in support for arbitrary precision integer arithmetic.
 * For example:
 *
 * 42**13   ->   1265437718438866624512
 *
 * BigDecimal provides similar support for very large or very accurate floating
 * point numbers.
 *
 * Decimal arithmetic is also useful for general calculation, because it
 * provides the correct answers people expect--whereas normal binary floating
 * point arithmetic often introduces subtle errors because of the conversion
 * between base 10 and base 2. For example, try:
 *
 *   sum = 0
 *   for i in (1..10000)
 *     sum = sum + 0.0001
 *   end
 *   print sum
 *
 * and contrast with the output from:
 *
 *   require 'bigdecimal'
 *
 *   sum = BigDecimal.new("0")
 *   for i in (1..10000)
 *     sum = sum + BigDecimal.new("0.0001")
 *   end
 *   print sum
 *
 * Similarly:
 *
 * (BigDecimal.new("1.2") - BigDecimal("1.0")) == BigDecimal("0.2") -> true
 *
 * (1.2 - 1.0) == 0.2 -> false
 *
 * = Special features of accurate decimal arithmetic
 *
 * Because BigDecimal is more accurate than normal binary floating point
 * arithmetic, it requires some special values.
 *
 * == Infinity
 *
 * BigDecimal sometimes needs to return infinity, for example if you divide
 * a value by zero.
 *
 * BigDecimal.new("1.0") / BigDecimal.new("0.0")  -> infinity
 *
 * BigDecimal.new("-1.0") / BigDecimal.new("0.0")  -> -infinity
 *
 * You can represent infinite numbers to BigDecimal using the strings
 * 'Infinity', '+Infinity' and '-Infinity' (case-sensitive)
 *
 * == Not a Number
 *
 * When a computation results in an undefined value, the special value NaN
 * (for 'not a number') is returned.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * BigDecimal.new("0.0") / BigDecimal.new("0.0") -> NaN
 *
 * You can also create undefined values.  NaN is never considered to be the
 * same as any other value, even NaN itself:
 *
 * n = BigDecimal.new('NaN')
 *
 * n == 0.0 -> nil
 *
 * n == n -> nil
 *
 * == Positive and negative zero
 *
 * If a computation results in a value which is too small to be represented as
 * a BigDecimal within the currently specified limits of precision, zero must
 * be returned.
 *
 * If the value which is too small to be represented is negative, a BigDecimal
 * value of negative zero is returned. If the value is positive, a value of
 * positive zero is returned.
 *
 * BigDecimal.new("1.0") / BigDecimal.new("-Infinity") -> -0.0
 *
 * BigDecimal.new("1.0") / BigDecimal.new("Infinity") -> 0.0
 *
 * (See BigDecimal.mode for how to specify limits of precision.)
 *
 * Note that -0.0 and 0.0 are considered to be the same for the purposes of
 * comparison.
 *
 * Note also that in mathematics, there is no particular concept of negative
 * or positive zero; true mathematical zero has no sign.
