 Emacs Lisp didn't have built-in floating point math (now it does), so
-this had to be
-simulated in software.  In fact, Emacs integers will only comfortably
-fit six decimal digits or so---not enough for a decent calculator.  So
-I had to write my own high-precision integer code as well, and once I had
-this I figured that arbitrary-size integers were just as easy as large
-integers.  Arbitrary floating-point precision was the logical next step.
-Also, since the large integer arithmetic was there anyway it seemed only
-fair to give the user direct access to it, which in turn made it practical
-to support fractions as well as floats.  All these features inspired me
-to look around for other data types that might be worth having.
