   I don't know. In the original repo, I have this:

   one
   ^self class 
   	mantissa: 1
   	exponent: 0
   	nBits: nBits

   yes on instance side, I was talking about class side.
   When I try: PMArbitraryPrecisionFloat new one, I have an error.

   Ah, there's no such thing in original repository.
   I don't think that it's a good idea to have one on class side because we can't specify precision.
   Unless you pick some arbitrary arbitraryPrecision...
   Probably, we should forbid new too, that's not how instances shall be created.

   There is no method on the class side, but one in defined in Number on class side in fact.
   BTW, how instances should be created. Do you have tests that illustrate how to create instances?

   It would be interesting to have a default precision I think.
