+- /* Algorithm:
+- 1. Develop >= n bits of src.num / src.den, where n is the number of bits
+- in a double. This (partial) division will use all bits from the
+- denominator.
+- 2. Use the remainder to determine how to round the result.
+- 3. Assign the integral result to a temporary double.
+- 4. Scale the temporary double, and return the result.
+-
+- An alternative algorithm, that would be faster:
+- 0. Let n be somewhat larger than the number of significant bits in a double.
+- 1. Extract the most significant n bits of the denominator, and an equal
+- number of bits from the numerator.
+- 2. Interpret the extracted numbers as integers, call them a and b
+- respectively, and develop n bits of the fractions ((a + 1) / b) and
+- (a / (b + 1)) using mpn_divrem.
+- 3. If the computed values are identical UP TO THE POSITION WE CARE ABOUT,
+- we are done. If they are different, repeat the algorithm from step 1,
+- but first let n = n * 2.
+- 4. If we end up using all bits from the numerator and denominator, fall
+- back to the first algorithm above.
+- 5. Just to make life harder, The computation of a + 1 and b + 1 above
+- might give carry-out... Needs special handling. It might work to
+- subtract 1 in both cases instead.
