Setting the default precision in mxNumber

[Thomas Chassaing]

Hi,

I just installed the mxNumber package and looking trough the
documentation I found no means to set the default precision for Float
numbers (I think it is set to 64bits). Does anyone know how the default
precision can be changed, or do I have to use the Float(value,pre cision)
constructor all the time?

Thanks

Why not define your own constructor with a default that you control?
Then your code can happily use FLOAT(value) (for example), while
mxNumber's internals can get what they are used to and expect.
