Thank you for your comment. My motivation of developing low-layer library
is to be used from high-layer common library like your DataMapper, and my
goal is to take *real* effect for high-layer programmer and the application
program user.

If you are interested, the basic (or too much!) ideas are in [ruby-talk:291318].
In fact, the core part of my library is "Bignum" itself that is widely used
over 13 years, as you know.
Therefore, 90% of my brain power is used for interface design in reality.
Some bugs about counting decimal places or rounding will be discovered,
but maintaining complicated code, in bignum.c of Ruby's body, is not my job
but Matz's ;)
