Also, an idea occurred to me while reading your comments.
The current assumption is that a Number always holds a single value.
How if we made it so that it held two values? They are the numerator
and the denominator.
Then we'd have a rational number, instead of an arbitrary precision
decimal. I think that's a sufficiently different data type that it
should be a different class (if required), and probably a separate RFC,
and for now it's better to stay closer to the existing BCMath API.
Developers should be prepared to accept that an arbitrary precision
decimal can't represent 1/3 exactly, just like a binary float can't
represent 1/10 exactly.
