Changes for version 1.999832 - 2022-05-21

  • Improve as_int(), as_float(), and as_rat() so that they return a Math::BigInt, Math::BigFloat, and Math::BigRat, respectivly, regardless of upgrading and downgrading.
  • Improve stringification method bsstr() so that it handles upgrading and downgrading better.
  • Fix Math::BigFloat->bpi(), which unfortunately didn't handle downgrading.
  • Avoid unnecessary downgrading/upgrading.
  • Add missed cases where downgrading/upgrading should be performed.
  • Avoid unnecessary stringification.
