Glen Whitney bcbb24acd2 feat: Generic numerical types
Inspired by https://github.com/josdejong/mathjs/discussions/2212 and
  https://github.com/josdejong/mathjs/issues/2585.

  Provides a simple adapter function `adapted` which takes a class
  implementing an arithmetical datatype and returns a PocomathInstance
  with a new type for that class, invoking the methods of the class
  in a standard way for the Pocomath/mathjs operations.  (That instance
  can then be installed in another to add the new type to any instance
  you like, including the default one.)

  Uses this facility to bring fraction.js Fraction into Pocomath, and
  tests the resulting type.

  Currently the "standard" interface for an arithmetical type is heavily modeled
  after the design of fraction.js, but with experience with other 3rd-party types
  it could be streamlined to something pretty generic (and the Fraction
  adaptation could be patched to conform to the resulting "standard"). Or a
  proposal along the lines of https://github.com/josdejong/mathjs/discussions/2212
  could be adopted, and a shim could be added to fraction.js to conform to
  **that** standard.

  Resolves #30.

Glen Whitney 845a2354c9 feat: Template types (#45)
Includes a full implementation of a type-homogeneous Tuple type, using the template types
  feature, as a demonstration/check of its operation.

Glen Whitney 814f660000 feat(Chain): add computation pipelines like mathjs
Also adds a `mean()` operation so there will be at least one operation
  that takes only a rest parameter, to exercise the ban on splitting
  such a parameter between the stored value and new arguments.
  Adds various tests of chains.

  Resolves #32.

Glen Whitney fe54bc6004 feat: Template operations (#41)
Relational functions are added using templates, and existing generic functions are made more strict with them. Also a new built-in typeOf function is added, that automatically updates itself.

Resolves #34.

Glen Whitney c429c19dfe feat: Implement subtypes
This should eventually be moved into typed-function itself, but for
  now it can be implemented on top of the existing typed-function.

  Uses subtypes to define (and error-check) gcd and lcm, which are only
  defined for integer arguments.

  Resolves #36.

Glen Whitney f68c7bd1fb fix(Types): Move distinct types into distinct identifiers
This allows types to be collected; prior to this commit they
   were conflicting from different modules.

   Uses this fix to extend sqrt to bigint, with the convention
   that it is undefined for non-perfect squares when 'predictable'
   is false and is the "best" approximation to the square root when
   'predictable' is true. Furthermore, for negative bigints, you might
   get a Gaussian integer when predictable is false; or you will just get
   your argument back when 'predictable' is true because what other
   bigint could you give back for a negative bigint?

   Also had to modify tests on the sign in sqrt(Complex) and add functions
   'zero' and 'one' to get types to match, as expected in #27.

   Adds numerous tests.

Glen Whitney 91ec20edd8 feat: Implement signature-specifc reference
Also implements a config object that upon change, lazily invalidates
  all operations that access it.

  Also allows references to signatures with nonexistent types (which
  typed-function does not); they come back as undefined.

  Uses these features to implement sqrt for number and complex.

  Resolves #7.
