I don't have any plans to implement the full numeric tower at the
moment.  This is explicitly permitted by R5RS.  Guile does support
exact and inexact numbers.  So, as far as I know, Guile does follow
the numeric standard; if you feel this is not so, please report it as
a bug.

If someone would like to contribute support for rationals, that would
be fine.
