If "double" is not to be used for reasons that I still don't understand, 
why don't we use "Real" instead of "Number" for x such that 
typeof(x)==constant and isreal(x)==%t ? This would be consistent with 
"complex" when typeof(x)==constant and isreal(x)==f. Moreover, this 
would be even set-theory compliant, i.e. use the name of the smallest 
set corresponding to storage type.
