+1 on introducing base()

While support for floats, decimals, etc. might be nice (and I
certainly wouldn't complain if someone wanted to supply the patch) I
don't think those features should be necessary for base()'s initial
introduction. If they're there, great, but if not, I don't think that
should hold up the patch...
