	<longdescription>
		A @Scientific@ number is an arbitrary-precision floating-point number
		represented using scientific notation.

		A scientific number with 'coefficient' @c@ and
		'base10Exponent' @e@ corresponds to the
		'Fractional' number: @'fromInteger' c * 10 '^^' e@

		Its primary use-case is to serve as the target of
		parsing floating point numbers. Since the textual
		representation of floating point numbers use
		scientific notation they can be efficiently
		parsed to a @Scientific@ number.
