Re: [Axiom-developer] axiom--main--1--patch-31

I have a feeling Axiom will go through at least 42 more releases in its
lifetime.  (at least, I hope)  Somehow, I think people might not notice
that version 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724 is not the same
as 2.718281828459045235360287471352662497757247.  ;)

Ok how do I do that in axiom?

\begin{axiom}
address@hidden
\begin{axiom}

gives me the value, but how do I change the number of digits displayed?
My guess: address@hidden(42) is wrong...
