Surely it should only produce a bignum as a last resort. For instance, shouldn't: 4 / 3 produce a float? Also, what about a case like: 4 / 2 Does that produce an int, a float or a bignum? > 9) Any operation with a bignum produces a bignum Should there be some way to test whether a bignum can be downgraded into a float?
