  Description     : O'Caml library that implements exact real arithmetic
 This  module  implements  exact  real  arithmetic,  following
 Val<E9>rie M<E9>nissier-Morain Ph.D. thesis (http://www-calfor.lip6.fr/~vmm/).

 A  real  x  is  represented  as  a function  giving,  for  any  n,  an
 approximation zn/4^n of x  such that |zn/4^n - x| < 1,  where zn is an
 arbitrary precision integer (of type Gmp.Z.t).

 Coercions from type int, Gmp.Z.t, Gmp.Q.t, basic operations (addition,
 subtraction,  multiplication,   division,  power,  square   root)  and
 transcendental  functions (sin,  cos, tan,  log, exp,  arcsin, arccos,
 etc.) and a few constants (pi, e) are provided.

 A small reverse-polish calculator is provided to test the library.
