Canonical default working precision, in decimal digits, for the exact-arithmetic tier.
Canonical default working precision, in decimal digits, for the exact-arithmetic tier.
A different quantity from DefaultPrecision, and deliberately a separate field rather than an overload of it: precision decides how a result is shown, working precision decides how tightly an irrational is approximated before exact arithmetic continues. Showing five decimals of a value computed to thirty is the normal case, and conflating the two would make raising the display precision silently change results.
