This version implements the scientific mode and have revamped the float displaying system.
It adds the toggle_float <normal|science|exact>
REPL command which changes the
float display.
In normal
mode the float is displayed with 10 decimal digits. Even when a
rational solution is available.
For example if you input
> 1/3
It displays
val: float = 0.3333333333
In exact
mode it displays
val: rational = 1/3
And in science
mode it displays
val: float = 3.333333333333*10⁻¹
Science mode prints with this pattern:
[0-9].[0-9]{10}\*10^(([0-9]*)|(-[0-9]*))
