We're talking about a class method, or a mixin class in the constructor. Not too
clear on this yet, because we want to get another release out with the initial
set of proposed changes (__slots__, etc.), before we deal with it.

We're also trying to accumulate test cases from c.l.p or wherever. We'd like to
add a benchmark/rounding demo to the project.

The more concrete examples proposed here and at fixedpoint.sourceforge.net, the
better.
