=head1 DESCRIPTION
-All basic math operations are overloaded if you declare your big
-integers as
+All operators (inlcuding basic math operations) are overloaded if you
+declare your big integers as
- $i = new Math::BigInt '123 456 789 123 456 789';
+ $i = new Math::BigInt '123_456_789_123_456_789';
+Operations with overloaded operators preserve the arguments which is
+exactly what you expect.
=over 2
=item Canonical notation
-Big integer value are strings of the form C</^[+-]\d+$/> with leading
+Big integer values are strings of the form C</^[+-]\d+$/> with leading
zeros suppressed.
+ '-0' canonical value '-0', normalized '0'
+ ' -123_123_123' canonical value '-123123123'
+ '1_23_456_7890' canonical value '1234567890'
+
=item Input
-Input values to these routines may be strings of the form
-C</^\s*[+-]?[\d\s]+$/>.
+Input values to these routines may be either Math::BigInt objects or
+strings of the form C</^\s*[+-]?[\d]+\.?[\d]*E?[+-]?[\d]*$/>.
+
+You can include one underscore between any two digits.
+
+This means integer values like 1.01E2 or even 1000E-2 are also accepted.
+Non integer values result in NaN.
+
+Math::BigInt::new() defaults to 0, while Math::BigInt::new('') results
+in 'NaN'.
+
+bnorm() on a BigInt object is now effectively a no-op, since the numbers
+are always stored in normalized form. On a string, it creates a BigInt
+object.
=item Output
-Output values always always in canonical form

+=head1 ACCURACY and PRECISION
+
+Since version v1.33, Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat have full support for
+accuracy and precision based rounding, both automatically after every
+operation as well as manually.
+
+This section describes the accuracy/precision handling in Math::Big* as it
+used to be and as it is now, complete with an explanation of all terms and
+abbreviations.
+
+Not yet implemented things (but with correct description) are marked with '!',
+things that need to be answered are marked with '?'.
+
+In the next paragraph follows a short description of terms used here (because
+these may differ from terms used by others people or documentation).
+
+During the rest of this document, the shortcuts A (for accuracy), P (for
+precision), F (fallback) and R (rounding mode) will be used.
+
+=head2 Precision P
+
+A fixed number of digits before (positive) or after (negative)
+the decimal point. For example, 123.45 has a precision of -2. 0 means an
+integer like 123 (or 120). A precision of 2 means two digits to the left
+of the decimal point are zero, so 123 with P = 1 becomes 120. Note that
+numbers with zeros before the decimal point may have different precisions,
+because 1200 can have p = 0, 1 or 2 (depending on what the inital value
+was). It could also have p < 0, when the digits after the decimal point
+are zero.
+
+The string output (of floating point numbers) will be padded with zeros:
+
+ Initial value P A Result String
+ ------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1234.01 -3 1000 1000
+ 1234 -2 1200 1200
+ 1234.5 -1 1230 1230
+ 1234.001 1 1234 1234.0
+ 1234.01 0 1234 1234
+ 1234.01 2 1234.01 1234.01
+ 1234.01 5 1234.01 1234.01000
+
+For BigInts, no padding occurs.
+
+=head2 Accuracy A
+
+Number of significant digits. Leading zeros are not counted. A
+number may have an accuracy greater than the non-zero digits
+when there are zeros in it or trailing zeros. For example, 123.456 has
+A of 6, 10203 has 5, 123.0506 has 7, 123.450000 has 8 and 0.000123 has 3.
+
+The string output (of floating point numbers) will be padded with zeros:
+
+ Initial value P A Result String
+ ------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1234.01 3 1230 1230
+ 1234.01 6 1234.01 1234.01
+ 1234.1 8 1234.1 1234.1000
+
+For BigInts, no padding occurs.
+
+=head2 Fallback F
+
+When both A and P are undefined, this is used as a fallback accuracy when
+dividing numbers.
+
+=head2 Rounding mode R
+
+When rounding a number, different 'styles' or 'kinds'
+of rounding are possible. (Note that random rounding, as in
+Math::Round, is not implemented.)
+
+=over 2
+
+=item 'trunc'
+
+truncation invariably removes all digits following the
+rounding place, replacing them with zeros. Thus, 987.65 rounded
+to tens (P=1) becomes 980, and rounded to the fourth sigdig
+becomes 987.6 (A=4). 123.456 rounded to the second place after the
+decimal point (P=-2) becomes 123.46.
+
+All other implemented styles of rounding attempt to round to the
+"nearest digit." If the digit D immediately to the right of the
+rounding place (skipping the decimal point) is greater than 5, the
+number is incremented at the rounding place (possibly causing a
+cascade of incrementation): e.g. when rounding to units, 0.9 rounds
+to 1, and -19.9 rounds to -20. If D < 5, the number is similarly
+truncated at the rounding place: e.g. when rounding to units, 0.4
+rounds to 0, and -19.4 rounds to -19.
+
+However the results of other styles of rounding differ if the
+digit immediately to the right of the rounding place (skipping the
+decimal point) is 5 and if there are no digits, or no digits other
+than 0, after that 5. In such cases:
+
+=item 'even'
+
+rounds the digit at the rounding place to 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8
+if it is not already. E.g., when rounding to the first sigdig, 0.45
+becomes 0.4, -0.55 becomes -0.6, but 0.4501 becomes 0.5.
+
+=item 'odd'
+
+rounds the digit at the rounding place to 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 if
+it is not already. E.g., when rounding to the first sigdig, 0.45
+becomes 0.5, -0.55 becomes -0.5, but 0.5501 becomes 0.6.
+
+=item '+inf'
+
+round to plus infinity, i.e. always round up. E.g., when
+rounding to the first sigdig, 0.45 becomes 0.5, -0.55 becomes -0.5,
+and 0.4501 also becomes 0.5.
+
+=item '-inf'
+
+round to minus infinity, i.e. always round down. E.g., when
+rounding to the first sigdig, 0.45 becomes 0.4, -0.55 becomes -0.6,
+but 0.4501 becomes 0.5.
+
+=item 'zero'
+
+round to zero, i.e. positive numbers down, negative ones up.
+E.g., when rounding to the first sigdig, 0.45 becomes 0.4, -0.55
+becomes -0.5, but 0.4501 becomes 0.5.
+
+=back
+
+The handling of A & P in MBI/MBF (the old core code shipped with Perl
+versions <= 5.7.2) is like this:
+
+=over 2
+
+=item Precision
+
+ * ffround($p) is able to round to $p number of digits after the decimal
+ point
+ * otherwise P is unused
+
+=item Accuracy (significant digits)
+
+ * fround($a) rounds to $a significant digits
+ * only fdiv() and fsqrt() take A as (optional) paramater
+ + other operations simply create the same number (fneg etc), or more (fmul)
+ of digits
+ + rounding/truncating is only done when explicitly calling one of fround
+ or ffround, and never for BigInt (not implemented)
+ * fsqrt() simply hands its accuracy argument over to fdiv.
+ * the documentation and the comment in the code indicate two different ways
+ on how fdiv() determines the maximum number of digits it should calculate,
+ and the actual code does yet another thing
+ POD:
+ max($Math::BigFloat::div_scale,length(dividend)+length(divisor))
+ Comment:
+ result has at most max(scale, length(dividend), length(divisor)) digits
+ Actual code:
+ scale = max(scale, length(dividend)-1,length(divisor)-1);
+ scale += length(divisior) - length(dividend);
+ So for lx = 3, ly = 9, scale = 10, scale will actually be 16 (10+9-3).
+ Actually, the 'difference' added to the scale is calculated from the
+ number of "significant digits" in dividend and divisor, which is derived
+ by looking at the length of the mantissa. Which is wrong, since it includes
+ the + sign (oups) and actually gets 2 for '+100' and 4 for '+101'. Oups
+ again. Thus 124/3 with div_scale=1 will get you '41.3' based on the strange
+ assumption that 124 has 3 significant digits, while 120/7 will get you
+ '17', not '17.1' since 120 is thought to have 2 significant digits.
+ The rounding after the division then uses the remainder and $y to determine
+ wether it must round up or down.
+ ? I have no idea which is the right way. That's why I used a slightly more
+ ? simple scheme and tweaked the few failing testcases to match it.
+
+=back
+
+This is how it works now:
+
+=over 2
+
+=item Setting/Accessing
+
+ * You can set the A global via $Math::BigInt::accuracy or
+ $Math::BigFloat::accuracy or whatever class you are using.
+ * You can also set P globally by using $Math::SomeClass::precision likewise.
+ * Globals are classwide, and not inherited by subclasses.
+ * to undefine A, use $Math::SomeCLass::accuracy = undef
+ * to undefine P, use $Math::SomeClass::precision = undef
+ * To be valid, A must be > 0, P can have any value.
+ * If P is negative, this means round to the P'th place to the right of the
+ decimal point; positive values mean to the left of the decimal point.
+ P of 0 means round to integer.
+ * to find out the current global A, take $Math::SomeClass::accuracy
+ * use $x->accuracy() for the local setting of $x.
+ * to find out the current global P, take $Math::SomeClass::precision
+ * use $x->precision() for the local setting
+
+=item Creating numbers
+
+ !* When you create a number, there should be a way to define its A & P
+ * When a number without specific A or P is created, but the globals are
+ defined, these should be used to round the number immediately and also
+ stored locally with the number. Thus changing the global defaults later on
+ will not change the A or P of previously created numbers (i.e., A and P of
+ $x will be what was in effect when $x was created)
+
+=item Usage
+
+ * If A or P are enabled/defined, they are used to round the result of each
+ operation according to the rules below
+ * Negative P is ignored in Math::BigInt, since BigInts never have digits
+ after the decimal point
+ * Math::BigFloat uses Math::BigInts internally, but setting A or P inside
+ Math::BigInt as globals should not tamper with the parts of a BigFloat.
+ Thus a flag is used to mark all Math::BigFloat numbers as 'never round'
+
+=item Precedence
+
+ * It only makes sense that a number has only one of A or P at a time.
+ Since you can set/get both A and P, there is a rule that will practically
+ enforce only A or P to be in effect at a time, even if both are set.
+ This is called precedence.
+ !* If two objects are involved in an operation, and one of them has A in
+ ! effect, and the other P, this should result in a warning or an error,
+ ! probably in NaN.
+ * A takes precendence over P (Hint: A comes before P). If A is defined, it
+ is used, otherwise P is used. If neither of them is defined, nothing is
+ used, i.e. the result will have as many digits as it can (with an
+ exception for fdiv/fsqrt) and will not be rounded.
+ * There is another setting for fdiv() (and thus for fsqrt()). If neither of
+ A or P is defined, fdiv() will use a fallback (F) of $div_scale digits.
+ If either the dividend's or the divisor's mantissa has more digits than
+ the value of F, the higher value will be used instead of F.
+ This is to limit the digits (A) of the result (just consider what would
+ happen with unlimited A and P in the case of 1/3 :-)
+ * fdiv will calculate 1 more digit than required (determined by
+ A, P or F), and, if F is not used, round the result
+ (this will still fail in the case of a result like 0.12345000000001 with A
+ or P of 5, but this can not be helped - or can it?)
+ * Thus you can have the math done by on Math::Big* class in three modes:
+ + never round (this is the default):
+ This is done by setting A and P to undef. No math operation
+ will round the result, with fdiv() and fsqrt() as exceptions to guard
+ against overflows. You must explicitely call bround(), bfround() or
+ round() (the latter with parameters).
+ Note: Once you have rounded a number, the settings will 'stick' on it
+ and 'infect' all other numbers engaged in math operations with it, since
+ local settings have the highest precedence. So, to get SaferRound[tm],
+ use a copy() before rounding like this:
+
+ $x = Math::BigFloat->new(12.34);
+ $y = Math::BigFloat->new(98.76);
+ $z = $x * $y; # 1218.6984
+ print $x->copy()->fround(3); # 12.3 (but A is now 3!)
+ $z = $x * $y; # still 1218.6984, without
+ # copy would have been 1210!
+
+ + round after each op:
+ After each single operation (except for testing like is_zero()), the
+ method round() is called and the result is rounded appropriately. By
+ setting proper values for A and P, you can have all-the-same-A or
+ all-the-same-P modes. For example, Math::Currency might set A to undef,
+ and P to -2, globally.
+
+ ?Maybe an extra option that forbids local A & P settings would be in order,
+ ?so that intermediate rounding does not 'poison' further math?
+
+=item Overriding globals
+
+ * you will be able to give A, P and R as an argument to all the calculation
+ routines; the second parameter is A, the third one is P, and the fourth is
+ R (shift place by one for binary operations like add). P is used only if
+ the first parameter (A) is undefined. These three parameters override the
+ globals in the order detailed as follows, i.e. the first defined value
+ wins:
+ (local: per object, global: global default, parameter: argument to sub)
+ + parameter A
+ + parameter P
+ + local A (if defined on both of the operands: smaller one is taken)
+ + local P (if defined on both of the operands: smaller one is taken)
+ + global A
+ + global P
+ + global F
+ * fsqrt() will hand its arguments to fdiv(), as it used to, only now for two
+ arguments (A and P) instead of one
+
+=item Local settings
+
+ * You can set A and P locally by using $x->accuracy() and $x->precision()
+ and thus force different A and P for different objects/numbers.
+ * Setting A or P this way immediately rounds $x to the new value.
+
+=item Rounding
+
+ * the rounding routines will use the respective global or local settings.
+ fround()/bround() is for accuracy rounding, while ffround()/bfround()
+ is for precision
+ * the two rounding functions take as the second parameter one of the
+ following rounding modes (R):
+ 'even', 'odd', '+inf', '-inf', 'zero', 'trunc'
+ * you can set and get the global R by using Math::SomeClass->round_mode()
+ or by setting $Math::SomeClass::round_mode
+ * after each operation, $result->round() is called, and the result may
+ eventually be rounded (that is, if A or P were set either locally,
+ globally or as parameter to the operation)
+ * to manually round a number, call $x->round($A,$P,$round_mode);
+ this will round the number by using the appropriate rounding function
+ and then normalize it.
+ * rounding modifies the local settings of the number:
+
+ $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123.456);
+ $x->accuracy(5);
+ $x->bround(4);
+
+ Here 4 takes precedence over 5, so 123.5 is the result and $x->accuracy()
+ will be 4 from now on.
+
+=item Default values
+
+ * R: 'even'
+ * F: 40
+ * A: undef
+ * P: undef
+
+=item Remarks
+
+ * The defaults are set up so that the new code gives the same results as
+ the old code (except in a few cases on fdiv):
+ + Both A and P are undefined and thus will not be used for rounding
+ after each operation.
+ + round() is thus a no-op, unless given extra parameters A and P
=back
-Actual math is done in an internal format consisting of an array
-whose first element is the sign (/^[+-]$/) and whose remaining
-elements are base 100000 digits with the least significant digit first.
-The string 'NaN' is used to represent the result when input arguments
-are not numbers, as well as the result of dividing by zero.
+=head1 INTERNALS
+
+The actual numbers are stored as unsigned big integers (with seperate sign).
+You should neither care about nor depend on the internal representation; it
+might change without notice. Use only method calls like C<< $x->sign(); >>
+instead relying on the internal hash keys like in C<< $x->{sign}; >>.
+
+=head2 MATH LIBRARY
+
+Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called
+Math::BigInt::Calc. This is equivalent to saying:
+
+ use Math::BigInt lib => 'Calc';
+
+You can change this by using:
+
+ use Math::BigInt lib => 'BitVect';
+
+The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then
+Math::BigInt::Bar, and when this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc:
+
+ use Math::BigInt lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';
+
+Calc.pm uses as internal format an array of elements of some decimal base
+(usually 1e5, but this might change to 1e7) with the least significant digit
+first, while BitVect.pm uses a bit vector of base 2, most significant bit
+first. Other modules might use even different means of representing the
+numbers. See the respective module documentation for further details.
+
+=head2 SIGN
+
+The sign is either '+', '-', 'NaN', '+inf' or '-inf' and stored seperately.
+
+A sign of 'NaN' is used to represent the result when input arguments are not
+numbers or as a result of 0/0. '+inf' and '-inf' represent plus respectively
+minus infinity. You will get '+inf' when dividing a positive number by 0, and
+'-inf' when dividing any negative number by 0.
+
+=head2 mantissa(), exponent() and parts()
+
+C<mantissa()> and C<exponent()> return the said parts of the BigInt such
+that:
+
+ $m = $x->mantissa();
+ $e = $x->exponent();
+ $y = $m * ( 10 ** $e );
+ print "ok\n" if $x == $y;
+
+C<< ($m,$e) = $x->parts() >> is just a shortcut that gives you both of them
+in one go. Both the returned mantissa and exponent have a sign.
+
+Currently, for BigInts C<$e> will be always 0, except for NaN, +inf and -inf,
+where it will be NaN; and for $x == 0, where it will be 1
+(to be compatible with Math::BigFloat's internal representation of a zero as
+C<0E1>).
+
+C<$m> will always be a copy of the original number. The relation between $e
+and $m might change in the future, but will always be equivalent in a
+numerical sense, e.g. $m might get minimized.

+
+=head1 Autocreating constants
+
+After C<use Math::BigInt ':constant'> all the B<integer> decimal constants
+in the given scope are converted to C<Math::BigInt>. This conversion
+happens at compile time.
+
+In particular,
+
+ perl -MMath::BigInt=:constant -e 'print 2**100,"\n"'
+
+prints the integer value of C<2**100>. Note that without conversion of
+constants the expression 2**100 will be calculated as perl scalar.
+
+Please note that strings and floating point constants are not affected,
+so that
+
+ use Math::BigInt qw/:constant/;
+
+ $x = 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890

+ + '123456789123456789';
+
+do not work. You need an explicit Math::BigInt->new() around one of the
+operands.
+
+=head1 PERFORMANCE
+
+Using the form $x += $y; etc over $x = $x + $y is faster, since a copy of $x
+must be made in the second case. For long numbers, the copy can eat up to 20%
+of the work (in the case of addition/subtraction, less for
+multiplication/division). If $y is very small compared to $x, the form
+$x += $y is MUCH faster than $x = $x + $y since making the copy of $x takes
+more time then the actual addition.
+
+With a technique called copy-on-write, the cost of copying with overload could
+be minimized or even completely avoided. This is currently not implemented.
+
+The new version of this module is slower on new(), bstr() and numify(). Some
+operations may be slower for small numbers, but are significantly faster for
+big numbers. Other operations are now constant (O(1), like bneg(), babs()
+etc), instead of O(N) and thus nearly always take much less time.
+
+If you find the Calc module to slow, try to install any of the replacement
+modules and see if they help you.
+
+=head2 Alternative math libraries
+
+You can use an alternative library to drive Math::BigInt via:
+
+ use Math::BigInt lib => 'Module';
+
+The default is called Math::BigInt::Calc and is a pure-perl implementation
+that consists mainly of the standard routine present in earlier versions of
+Math::BigInt.
+
+There are also Math::BigInt::Scalar (primarily for testing) and
+Math::BigInt::BitVect; as well as Math::BigInt::Pari and likely others.
+All these can be found via L<http://search.cpan.org/>:
+
+ use Math::BigInt lib => 'BitVect';
+
+ my $x = Math::BigInt->new(2);
+ print $x ** (1024*1024);

=head1 BUGS
-The current version of this module is a preliminary version of the
-real thing that is currently (as of perl5.002) under development.
+=over 2
+
+=item Out of Memory!
+
+Under Perl prior to 5.6.0 having an C<use Math::BigInt ':constant';> and
+C<eval()> in your code will crash with "Out of memory". This is probably an
+overload/exporter bug. You can workaround by not having C<eval()>
+and ':constant' at the same time or upgrade your Perl to a newer version.
+
+=item Fails to load Calc on Perl prior 5.6.0
+
+Since eval(' use ...') can not be used in conjunction with ':constant', BigInt
+will fall back to eval { require ... } when loading the math lib on Perls
+prior to 5.6.0. This simple replaces '::' with '/' and thus might fail on
+filesystems using a different seperator.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+Some things might not work as you expect them. Below is documented what is
+known to be troublesome:
+
+=over 1
+
+=item stringify, bstr(), bsstr() and 'cmp'
+
+Both stringify and bstr() now drop the leading '+'. The old code would return
+'+3', the new returns '3'. This is to be consistent with Perl and to make
+cmp (especially with overloading) to work as you expect. It also solves
+problems with Test.pm, it's ok() uses 'eq' internally.
+
+Mark said, when asked about to drop the '+' altogether, or make only cmp work:
+
+ I agree (with the first alternative), don't add the '+' on positive
+ numbers. It's not as important anymore with the new internal
+ form for numbers. It made doing things like abs and neg easier,
+ but those have to be done differently now anyway.
+
+So, the following examples will now work all as expected:
+
+ use Test;
+ BEGIN { plan tests => 1 }
+ use Math::BigInt;
+
+ my $x = new Math::BigInt 3*3;
+ my $y = new Math::BigInt 3*3;
+
+ ok ($x,3*3);
+ print "$x eq 9" if $x eq $y;
+ print "$x eq 9" if $x eq '9';
+ print "$x eq 9" if $x eq 3*3;
+
+Additionally, the following still works:
+
+ print "$x == 9" if $x == $y;
+ print "$x == 9" if $x == 9;
+ print "$x == 9" if $x == 3*3;
+
+There is now a C<bsstr()> method to get the string in scientific notation aka
+C<1e+2> instead of C<100>. Be advised that overloaded 'eq' always uses bstr()
+for comparisation, but Perl will represent some numbers as 100 and others
+as 1e+308. If in doubt, convert both arguments to Math::BigInt before doing eq:
+
+ use Test;
+ BEGIN { plan tests => 3 }
+ use Math::BigInt;
+
+ $x = Math::BigInt->new('1e56'); $y = 1e56;
+ ok ($x,$y); # will fail
+ ok ($x->bsstr(),$y); # okay
+ $y = Math::BigInt->new($y);
+ ok ($x,$y); # okay
+
+There is not yet a way to get a number automatically represented in exactly
+the way Perl represents it.
+
+=item int()
+
+C<int()> will return (at least for Perl v5.7.1 and up) another BigInt, not a
+Perl scalar:
+
+ $x = Math::BigInt->new(123);
+ $y = int($x); # BigInt 123
+ $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123.45);
+ $y = int($x); # BigInt 123
+
+In all Perl versions you can use C<as_number()> for the same effect:
+
+ $x = Math::BigFloat->new(123.45);
+ $y = $x->as_number(); # BigInt 123
+
+This also works for other subclasses, like Math::String.
+
+It is yet unlcear whether overloaded int() should return a scalar or a BigInt.
+
+=item length
+
+The following will probably not do what you expect:
+
+ $c = Math::BigInt->new(123);
+ print $c->length(),"\n"; # prints 30
+
+It prints both the number of digits in the number and in the fraction part
+since print calls C<length()> in list context. Use something like:
+
+ print scalar $c->length(),"\n"; # prints 3
+
+=item bdiv
+
+The following will probably not do what you expect:
+
+ print $c->bdiv(10000),"\n";
+
+It prints both quotient and remainder since print calls C<bdiv()> in list
+context. Also, C<bdiv()> will modify $c, so be carefull. You probably want
+to use
+
+ print $c / 10000,"\n";
+ print scalar $c->bdiv(10000),"\n"; # or if you want to modify $c
+
+instead.
+
+The quotient is always the greatest integer less than or equal to the
+real-valued quotient of the two operands, and the remainder (when it is
+nonzero) always has the same sign as the second operand; so, for
+example,
+
+ 1 / 4 => ( 0, 1)
+ 1 / -4 => (-1,-3)
+ -3 / 4 => (-1, 1)
+ -3 / -4 => ( 0,-3)
+ -11 / 2 => (-5,1)
+ 11 /-2 => (-5,-1)
+
+As a consequence, the behavior of the operator % agrees with the
+behavior of Perl's built-in % operator (as documented in the perlop
+manpage), and the equation
+
+ $x == ($x / $y) * $y + ($x % $y)
+
+holds true for any $x and $y, which justifies calling the two return
+values of bdiv() the quotient and remainder. The only exception to this rule
+are when $y == 0 and $x is negative, then the remainder will also be
+negative. See below under "infinity handling" for the reasoning behing this.
+
+Perl's 'use integer;' changes the behaviour of % and / for scalars, but will
+not change BigInt's way to do things. This is because under 'use integer' Perl
+will do what the underlying C thinks is right and this is different for each
+system. If you need BigInt's behaving exactly like Perl's 'use integer', bug
+the author to implement it ;)
+
+=item infinity handling
+
+Here are some examples that explain the reasons why certain results occur while
+handling infinity:
+
+The following table shows the result of the division and the remainder, so that
+the equation above holds true. Some "ordinary" cases are strewn in to show more
+clearly the reasoning:
+
+ A / B = C, R so that C * B + R = A
+ =========================================================
+ 5 / 8 = 0, 5 0 * 8 + 5 = 5
+ 0 / 8 = 0, 0 0 * 8 + 0 = 0
+ 0 / inf = 0, 0 0 * inf + 0 = 0
+ 0 /-inf = 0, 0 0 * -inf + 0 = 0
+ 5 / inf = 0, 5 0 * inf + 5 = 5
+ 5 /-inf = 0, 5 0 * -inf + 5 = 5
+ -5/ inf = 0, -5 0 * inf + -5 = -5
+ -5/-inf = 0, -5 0 * -inf + -5 = -5
+ inf/ 5 = inf, 0 inf * 5 + 0 = inf
+ -inf/ 5 = -inf, 0 -inf * 5 + 0 = -inf
+ inf/ -5 = -inf, 0 -inf * -5 + 0 = inf
+ -inf/ -5 = inf, 0 inf * -5 + 0 = -inf
+ 5/ 5 = 1, 0 1 * 5 + 0 = 5
+ -5/ -5 = 1, 0 1 * -5 + 0 = -5
+ inf/ inf = 1, 0 1 * inf + 0 = inf
+ -inf/-inf = 1, 0 1 * -inf + 0 = -inf
+ inf/-inf = -1, 0 -1 * -inf + 0 = inf
+ -inf/ inf = -1, 0 1 * -inf + 0 = -inf
+ 8/ 0 = inf, 8 inf * 0 + 8 = 8
+ inf/ 0 = inf, inf inf * 0 + inf = inf
+ 0/ 0 = NaN
+
+These cases below violate the "remainder has the sign of the second of the two
+arguments", since they wouldn't match up otherwise.
+
+ A / B = C, R so that C * B + R = A
+ ========================================================
+ -inf/ 0 = -inf, -inf -inf * 0 + inf = -inf
+ -8/ 0 = -inf, -8 -inf * 0 + 8 = -8
+
+=item Modifying and =
+
+Beware of:
+
+ $x = Math::BigFloat->new(5);
+ $y = $x;
+
+It will not do what you think, e.g. making a copy of $x. Instead it just makes
+a second reference to the B<same> object and stores it in $y. Thus anything
+that modifies $x (except overloaded operators) will modify $y, and vice versa.
+Or in other words, C<=> is only safe if you modify your BigInts only via
+overloaded math. As soon as you use a method call it breaks:
+
+ $x->bmul(2);
+ print "$x, $y\n"; # prints '10, 10'
+
+If you want a true copy of $x, use:
+
+ $y = $x->copy();
+
+You can also chain the calls like this, this will make first a copy and then
+multiply it by 2:
+
+ $y = $x->copy()->bmul(2);
+
+See also the documentation for overload.pm regarding C<=>.
+
+=item bpow
+
+C<bpow()> (and the rounding functions) now modifies the first argument and
+returns it, unlike the old code which left it alone and only returned the
+result. This is to be consistent with C<badd()> etc. The first three will
+modify $x, the last one won't:
+
+ print bpow($x,$i),"\n"; # modify $x
+ print $x->bpow($i),"\n"; # ditto
+ print $x **= $i,"\n"; # the same
+ print $x ** $i,"\n"; # leave $x alone
+
+The form C<$x **= $y> is faster than C<$x = $x ** $y;>, though.
+
+=item Overloading -$x
+
+The following:
+
+ $x = -$x;
+
+is slower than
+
+ $x->bneg();
+
+since overload calls C<sub($x,0,1);> instead of C<neg($x)>. The first variant
+needs to preserve $x since it does not know that it later will get overwritten.
+This makes a copy of $x and takes O(N), but $x->bneg() is O(1).
+
+With Copy-On-Write, this issue will be gone. Stay tuned...
+
+=item Mixing different object types
+
+In Perl you will get a floating point value if you do one of the following:
+
+ $float = 5.0 + 2;
+ $float = 2 + 5.0;
+ $float = 5 / 2;
+
+With overloaded math, only the first two variants will result in a BigFloat:
+
+ use Math::BigInt;
+ use Math::BigFloat;
+
+ $mbf = Math::BigFloat->new(5);
+ $mbi2 = Math::BigInteger->new(5);
+ $mbi = Math::BigInteger->new(2);
+
+ # what actually gets called:
+ $float = $mbf + $mbi; # $mbf->badd()
+ $float = $mbf / $mbi; # $mbf->bdiv()
+ $integer = $mbi + $mbf; # $mbi->badd()
+ $integer = $mbi2 / $mbi; # $mbi2->bdiv()
+ $integer = $mbi2 / $mbf; # $mbi2->bdiv()
+
+This is because math with overloaded operators follows the first (dominating)
+operand, this one's operation is called and returns thus the result. So,
+Math::BigInt::bdiv() will always return a Math::BigInt, regardless whether
+the result should be a Math::BigFloat or the second operant is one.
+
+To get a Math::BigFloat you either need to call the operation manually,
+make sure the operands are already of the proper type or casted to that type
+via Math::BigFloat->new():
+
+ $float = Math::BigFloat->new($mbi2) / $mbi; # = 2.5
+
+Beware of simple "casting" the entire expression, this would only convert
+the already computed result:
+
+ $float = Math::BigFloat->new($mbi2 / $mbi); # = 2.0 thus wrong!
+
+Beware also of the order of more complicated expressions like:
+
+ $integer = ($mbi2 + $mbi) / $mbf; # int / float => int
+ $integer = $mbi2 / Math::BigFloat->new($mbi); # ditto
+
+If in doubt, break the expression into simpler terms, or cast all operands
+to the desired resulting type.
+
+Scalar values are a bit different, since:
+
+ $float = 2 + $mbf;
+ $float = $mbf + 2;
+
+will both result in the proper type due to the way the overloaded math works.
+
+This section also applies to other overloaded math packages, like Math::String.
+
+=item bsqrt()
+
+C<bsqrt()> works only good if the result is an big integer, e.g. the square
+root of 144 is 12, but from 12 the square root is 3, regardless of rounding
+mode.
+
+If you want a better approximation of the square root, then use:
+
+ $x = Math::BigFloat->new(12);
+ $Math::BigFloat::precision = 0;
+ Math::BigFloat->round_mode('even');
+ print $x->copy->bsqrt(),"\n"; # 4
+
+ $Math::BigFloat::precision = 2;
+ print $x->bsqrt(),"\n"; # 3.46
+ print $x->bsqrt(3),"\n"; # 3.464
