    @abstract   This class represents a number that evaluates to itself.
 
    @discussion Numbers include integers as well as floating point numbers. They
                have to be representable as a decimal number literal (e.g.
                <code>3.4</code>). Numbers that have periods or are irrational
                are not implemented by this class.
