It is easy enough to fix the patch so that it will write out these
values any way you like.  But I don't know enough about guile to know
what to modify to make it read these forms.

I think Rob already said it was OK with him.  I haven't heard from
anyone else.  Choosing an appropriate time to do it so that we don't
cause unnecessary trouble for anyone who might be working on numbers.c
is the the hard part, I think.
