I just rechecked, and everything is parsed correctly, with all significant
digits.

There could be another explanation, because I'm using an updated version
of the code that I have not checked in yet...  I'll see if I can merge
it now.

Oh.  I already implemented a string-version of this type-info in my own
tree.  Each DataSet returns a string that describes itself, and this
can be used for identification.

Also, I implemented a "clone" method that can clone a dataset.  I found
that I needed this to operate on the DataSets in an abstract way.  (Un-
fortunately, we can't make the DataSets assignable in the STL sense,
so we just have to provide the functionality in a different way.)

I'll try to commit this stuff today, but I might not make it.
In that case, it won't be until next week, sorry.  Easter holidays.

Greets,
