! Notes for version 0.1 (pre-alpha), first one placed on
! sourceforge -- A. Martelli, al...@ya..., 00/11/06.
  
! Edited for version 0.2 (still pre-alpha), bugfixes &
! minor performance tweaks, 00/11/15 -- many thanks to
! Pearu Peterson for his contributions re 0.1 -> 0.2!
  
! Edited for version 0.3 (ditto) -- cleanup, exposing

! Basically, this works around Python's (excellent!) choice to adopt
! the terminating-model rather than the restartable one for
! exception handling, in a few cases of specific interest to numeric
! computation that's being used in a symbolic setting.
  
! Most callbacks are module-global, with one specific exception.
! When any gmpy function or method is trying to convert arguments to
! gmpy objects (mpz, mpq, mpf), and a conversion fails, all argument
! objects are examined, looking for a method called '__gmpy__' in
! any of them.
  
! If one is found, then, rather than raising an error to indicate
! the conversion failure, that method is called as a 'localized
! callback' as above.  This lets other, non-gmpy objects participate
! in gmpy computations (if they're willing to handle all cases
! involving them!): Python does much of this via __coerce__ etc, and
! this localized-callback facility does the rest for named
! module-functions and methods, where normal coercion would not
! apply.
