The UI is awesome, amazing work! However, arbitrary precision implies that there is no fixed upper limit to the number of digits - simple tests like `0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3` and `2^53 == 2^53 + 1` (both produce "false") indicates you're still using IEEE 754 double precision floats.

If "arbitrary precision" is not as important to you as "high precision", a 128 bit decimal has enough precision for 99% of real-world applications.
