Juan Carlos Estibariz updated LANG-706:
---------------------------------------
Description:
With this interface it would be possible to perform generic operations on
mutable numbers without worrying about the specific type, e.g.
{code}
// these two could be created in a different methods
MutableNumber m = new MutableDouble();
Number n = ...;
// this would do the right thing
m.add(n);
{code}

(I'm not just making this up, I have a real use case and I had to create all
the classes myself)
