/**
* Constructive real numbers, also known as recursive, or computable reals.
* Each recursive real number is represented as an object that provides an
* approximation function for the real number.
* The approximation function guarantees that the generated approximation
* is accurate to the specified precision.
* Arithmetic operations on constructive reals produce new such objects;
* they typically do not perform any real computation.
* In this sense, arithmetic computations are exact: They produce
* a description which describes the exact answer, and can be used to
* later approximate it to arbitrary precision.
* <P>
* When approximations are generated, <I>e.g.</i> for output, they are
* accurate to the requested precision; no cumulative rounding errors
* are visible.
* In order to achieve this precision, the approximation function will often
* need to approximate subexpressions to greater precision than was originally
* demanded.  Thus the approximation of a constructive real number
* generated through a complex sequence of operations may eventually require
* evaluation to very high precision.  This usually makes such computations
* prohibitively expensive for large numerical problems.
* But it is perfectly appropriate for use in a desk calculator,
* for small numerical problems, for the evaluation of expressions
* computated by a symbolic algebra system, for testing of accuracy claims
* for floating point code on small inputs, or the like.
* <P>
* We expect that the vast majority of uses will ignore the particular
* implementation, and the member functons <TT>approximate</tt>
* and <TT>get_appr</tt>.  Such applications will treat <TT>CR</tt> as
* a conventional numerical type, with an interface modelled on
* <TT>java.math.BigInteger</tt>.  No subclasses of <TT>CR</tt>
* will be explicitly mentioned by such a program.
* <P>
* All standard arithmetic operations, as well as a few algebraic
* and transcendal functions are provided.  Constructive reals are
* immutable; thus all of these operations return a new constructive real.
* <P>
* A few uses will require explicit construction of approximation functions.
* The requires the construction of a subclass of <TT>CR</tt> with
* an overridden <TT>approximate</tt> function.  Note that <TT>approximate</tt>
* should only be defined, but never called.  <TT>get_appr</tt>
* provides the same functionality, but adds the caching necessary to obtain
* reasonable performance.
* <P>
* Any operation may throw <TT>com.hp.creals.AbortedException</tt> if the thread in
* which it is executing is interrupted.  (<TT>InterruptedException</tt> cannot
* be used for this purpose, since CR inherits from <TT>Number</tt>.)
* <P>
* Any operation may also throw <TT>com.hp.creals.PrecisionOverflowException</tt>
* If the precision request generated during any subcalculation overflows
* a 28-bit integer.  (This should be extremely unlikely, except as an
* outcome of a division by zero, or other erroneous computation.)
