The problem with using 0.125 instead of 0.1 is that the former may not be
what the end-user wants to see. After all we are looking at the visible
application domain, not at a pure internal coding domain. Any discrepancy
between those domains must be solved by the programs that implement a task.
And since it's a well-known problem where there existed long time existing
(or long forgotten?) approaches I see no obstacle that couldn't be overcome.
