 | For heavy math work, I want to be able to specify the precision
 | used, in one of several ways; For example, by saying
 |
 | (with-inexact-precision 128
 |   ...
 |   (sqrt 2)
 |   ...)
 |
 | or
 |
 |   (sqrt 2 :precision 128)
 |
 | or (without keywords)
 |
 |   (sqrt 2 128)
 |
 | or something.

Can you give an example of a calculation where you expect that
choosing a reduced precision will reap a large benefit?
