OK. For now, I renamed things as 'mpv' in the multi-precision toolbox; I
would like to fix them first and see later how we can interact with some
symbolic engine. A 'mpv' is an octave_value with a scalar, a prec
(precision) and a rnd (rounding).
Initialisation now works. The next point is that binary ops like arg1 op
arg2, to take full advantage of multi-precision, should re-formulate arg1
and arg2 with the maximum resolution of arg1 and arg2. This is to say that I
have to write a CAST function examining both args. Any example of such
approach ?

Pascal
