 Description

I know there are limitations in calculating with floating values. But at least in trivial cases there should be some error handling. If you enter straight a value that is too precise to be handled there should be an error message. See example file containing a:=1.234*10^-323=0

I disagree. Too small a number isn't an error. It should continue to be simply zero when evaluated numerically. If optimization is symbolic, it isn't zero anyway.
