CAVEATS
Do not try to be clever to insert some operations in between switching libraries:
...
This will create objects with numbers stored in two different backend libraries, and VERY BAD THINGS will happen when you use these together:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Math::BigFloat ':constant';
use Data::Dump qw/pp/;
print "150 / 0.75 == ", 150 / 0.75, "\n";
print "150.5->bfloor() == ", 150.5->bfloor() / 0.75, "\n";
print "150 / 3.75 == ", 150 / 3.75, "\n";
print "150.5->bfloor() / 3.75 == ", 150.5->bfloor() / 3.75, "\n";
my $float=3.1415926;
pp $float;
pp $float->bfloor();
pp int($float);
