The patch is obvious one, please go on. Concerning 'incompletely
implemented', it seems that _some_ functionality in the domain
may work, so removing whole domain would be too harsh.
OTOH it is not clear if using rational or Float parameters is
justified. Namely to observe a difference compared to DoubleFloat
parameters one would have to use some specially designed test.
Looking at the code I expect that it will fail various tests
much earlier.
