   6                 A @Scientific@ number is an arbitrary-precision floating-point number
   7                 represented using scientific notation.
   8
   9                 A scientific number with 'coefficient' @c@ and
  10                 'base10Exponent' @e@ corresponds to the
  11                 'Fractional' number: @'fromInteger' c * 10 '^^' e@
  12
  13                 Its primary use-case is to serve as the target of
  14                 parsing floating point numbers. Since the textual
  15                 representation of floating point numbers use
  16                 scientific notation they can be efficiently
  17                 parsed to a @Scientific@ number.
