sscanf and Gmp.mpq

But you said "numbers (possibly with decimals)", which suggest that you are not, in fact, dealing with rational numbers.

Not sure whether I understand the question, but whenever you deal with rational numbers and do not want to lose precision in calculations you want to use Gmp.mpq, rather than floats, doubles or Gmp.mpf:s.

Or, if you were referring to my particular current application, I am toying with an SVG optimiser/pretty-printer. (It's in good style not to degrade the quality of the input file.)
