-Exact and inexact operations
-----------------------------
-
-.. class:: Exact
-
-   Subclasses of this type have exact operations.
-
-   As long as the result of a homogenous operation is of the same type, you can
-   assume that it was computed exactly, and there are no round-off errors. Laws
-   like commutativity and associativity hold.
-
-
-.. class:: Inexact
-
-   Subclasses of this type have inexact operations.
-
-   Given X, an instance of :class:`Inexact`, it is possible that ``(X + -X) + 3
-   == 3``, but ``X + (-X + 3) == 0``. The exact form this error takes will vary
-   by type, but it's generally unsafe to compare this type for equality.
