Comment (by vbraun):
I don't think it is overly long, nor is there a good way of splitting it
up. Patch looks good to me.
Its somewhat confusing that `is_numerical` is completely different from
`GiNaC::numeric`. How about `is_approximate`, `is_limited_precision`, or
`is_floating_point` (I'd be happy to call padics "floating point" in this
case).
Is it possible to replace `is_inexact` with `is_numerical` everywhere? The
difference is
{{{
sage: is_inexact(pi)
True
sage: sin._is_numerical(pi)
False
}}}
I'm not super happy with pi being "inexact", though perhaps there is a
technical reason for why we need it.
