/** @addtogroup Numeric

    The 'Numeric' functions provide a way of working with rational
    numbers while maintaining strict control over rounding errors
    when adding rationals with different denominators.  The Numeric
    class is primarily used for working with monetary amounts,
    where the denominator typically represents the smallest fraction
    of the currency (e.g. pennies, centimes).  The numeric class
    can handle any fraction (e.g. twelfth's) and is not limited
    to fractions that are powers of ten.

    A 'Numeric' value represents a number in rational form, with a
    64-bit integer as numerator and denominator.  Rationals are
    ideal for many uses, such as performing exact, roundoff-error-free
    addition and multiplication, but 64-bit rationals do not have
    the dynamic range of floating point numbers.

typedef struct _gnc_numeric gnc_numeric;

/** @name Arguments Standard Arguments to most functions

    Most of the gnc_numeric arithmetic functions take two arguments
    in addition to their numeric args: 'denom', which is the denominator
    to use in the output gnc_numeric object, and 'how'. which
    describes how the arithmetic result is to be converted to that
    denominator. This combination of output denominator and rounding policy
    allows the results of financial and other rational computations to be
    properly rounded to the appropriate units.

    Valid values for denom are:
    GNC_DENOM_AUTO  -- compute denominator exactly
    integer n       -- Force the denominator of the result to be this integer
    GNC_DENOM_RECIPROCAL -- Use 1/n as the denominator (???huh???)

    Valid values for 'how' are bitwise combinations of zero or one
    "rounding instructions" with zero or one "denominator types".
    Valid rounding instructions are:
        GNC_HOW_RND_FLOOR
        GNC_HOW_RND_CEIL
        GNC_HOW_RND_TRUNC
        GNC_HOW_RND_PROMOTE
        GNC_HOW_RND_ROUND_HALF_DOWN
        GNC_HOW_RND_ROUND_HALF_UP
        GNC_HOW_RND_ROUND
        GNC_HOW_RND_NEVER

    The denominator type specifies how to compute a denominator if
    GNC_DENOM_AUTO is specified as the 'denom'. Valid
    denominator types are:
        GNC_HOW_DENOM_EXACT
        GNC_HOW_DENOM_REDUCE
        GNC_HOW_DENOM_LCD
        GNC_HOW_DENOM_FIXED
        GNC_HOW_DENOM_SIGFIGS(N)

   To use traditional rational-number operational semantics (all results
   are exact and are reduced to relatively-prime fractions) pass the
   argument GNC_DENOM_AUTO as 'denom' and
   GNC_HOW_DENOM_REDUCE| GNC_HOW_RND_NEVER as 'how'.

   To enforce strict financial semantics (such that all operands must have
   the same denominator as each other and as the result), use
   GNC_DENOM_AUTO as 'denom' and
   GNC_HOW_DENOM_FIXED | GNC_HOW_RND_NEVER as 'how'.
