Man, for large integers, this should really work!  Cascading problems in
my attempts to solve it:

	Number>>sin should do mod (2*Pi) before converting to a float

	mod (\\) on large integers shouldn't convert the receiver to a float!


What a mess.  I give up.  Try to operate on smaller numbers, Luciano :)
