For each signal there is a flag and a trap enabler. When a signal is
encountered, its flag incremented from zero and, then, if the trap enabler
encountered, its flag is incremented from zero and, then, if the trap enabler
is set to one, an exception is raised. Flags are sticky, so the user
needs to reset them before monitoring a calculation.

create a Decimal from a \class{float}, first convert it to a string. This
serves as an explicit reminder of the details of the conversion (including
representation error). Decimal numbers include special values such as
