Features:
- Rich set of number classes:
  Integer (unlimited precision), rational,
  short float, single float, double float,
  long float (unlimited precision), complex,
  modular integer, univariate polynomial.
- Elementary, logical, transcendental functions.
- C++ as implementation language brings
    - efficiency,
    - type safety,
    - algebraic syntax.
- Memory efficiency:
    - Small integers and short floats are immediate,
      not heap allocated.
    - Automatic, non-interruptive garbage collection.
- Speed efficiency:
    - Assembly language kernel for some CPUs,
    - Karatsuba and Schnhage-Strassen multiplication.
- Interoperability:
    - Garbage collection with no burden on
      the main application,
    - hooks for memory allocation and exceptions.

Requires: C++ compiler g++.
The following C++ features are used:
classes, member functions,
overloading of functions and operators,
constructors and destructors, inline, const,
multiple inheritance, templates.
The following C++ features are not used:
