	If you don't give a clue to computer about the kind of result you need,
is it expected to guess? I think that's definitely a good AI problem,
isn't it?
	BTW: did any CPU manufacturer fully implement MMIX specs yet? The #E
(epsilon) special register could be of some use in reducing these
annoying meanless decimals. MMX2's DAZ flag doesn't solve it all, far
from that..
	Good math software attempt to implement some form of cleverness, but
far from perfect, and they are so expensive...
