 Add gmp_floatval(), gmp_isint(), gmp_isfloat(), and similar introspection functions. Add gmp_floatval(), gmp_isint(), gmp_isfloat(), and similar introspection functions.

 +===== Proposal #2 =====
 +
 +Rather than overload the GMP class for integer/float representations, organize Integer and Floating-Point GMP objects into a class heirarchy as so:
 +
 +  abstract class GMPNumber {}
 +  class GMPInt extends GMPNumber {}
 +  class GMPFloat extends GMPNumber {}
 +
 +The same open questions exist for this approach (i.e. should int/int yield float?)
