| <longdescription> |
| A @Scientific@ number is an arbitrary-precision floating-point number |
| represented using scientific notation. |
| |
| A scientific number with 'coefficient' @c@ and |
| 'base10Exponent' @e@ corresponds to the |
| 'Fractional' number: @'fromInteger' c * 10 '^^' e@ |
| |
| Its primary use-case is to serve as the target of |
| parsing floating point numbers. Since the textual |
| representation of floating point numbers use |
| scientific notation they can be efficiently |
| parsed to a @Scientific@ number. |
