1. In the code there is a very nervous part: in case a number
    has more than 16 non-zero digits and should be handled
    with one of a bunch of functions, there is panic and the result
    is that '?'.
    This will be changed in one of the next releases

2. A workaround for this is 
   select sin( float(sin(52)*sin(2), 15) )
