Not really.  The accuracy is actually maximal.   :-)

What happens is that the precision for type double of your ostream object
is set to 6 decimal digits, rather than 16 or 17.  Just call
`cout.precision(16)' before printing the expression.

Well, I am considering to bump up the precision to 16 decimal digits for
double output in `numeric::print()' before attaching the return value of
`numeric::to_double()' to the stream in question (i.e. `c.s') and
resetting it to the normal value afterwards.  I don't think this would
cause any side-effects, do you?
