> %bignums, %rationals, %ieee-float

As a programmer, I'd rather be able to say

        (if (defined? numerator) ...)

than drag in a special symbol %rational.  And the recent discussion of
bignums suggests to me that "has bignums" is not a yes-or-no question;
I really want to be able to say

        (if (exact? (string->number 
"1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000")
 ...)

or whatever range I actually need.
