+/**
+ *
+ * @short Class that provides arbitrary precision numbers
+ *
+ * KNumber provides access to arbitrary precision numbers from within
+ * KDE.
+ *
+ * KNumber is based on the GMP (GNU Multiprecision) library and
+ * provides transparent support to integer, fractional and floating
+ * point number. It contains rudimentary error handling, and also
+ * includes methods for converting the numbers to QStrings for
+ * output, and to read QStrings to obtain a KNumber.
+ *
+ * The different types of numbers that can be represented by objects
+ * of this class will be described below:
+ *
+ * @li @p NumType::SpecialType - This type represents an error that
+ * has occurred, e.g. trying to divide 1 by 0 gives an object that
+ * represents infinity.
+ *
+ * @li @p NumType::IntegerType - The number is an integer. It can be
+ * arbitrarily large (restricted by the memory of the system).
+ *
+ * @li @p NumType::FractionType - A fraction is a number of the form
+ * denominator divided by nominator, where both denominator and
+ * nominator are integers of arbitrary size.
+ *
+ * @li @p NumType::FloatType - The number is of floating point
+ * type. These numbers are usually rounded, so that they do not
+ * represent precise values.
+ *
