   1. Danny Yoo implemented the full numeric tower, it's part of the wescheme implementation here: https://github.com/bootstrapworld/wescheme2012/blob/master/war-src/js/js-runtime/js-numbers.js
   2. Modern browsers now have bignums, which would make that code a lot faster.

   It still doesn't support fractions though, so we probably want to use a library for that instead of reinventing the wheel. https://github.com/infusion/Fraction.js/blob/master/bigfraction.js looks promising to me (it uses BigInt under the hood -- most other libraries implement their own BigInt too).
