It's not a very clean way to do it -- it's changing the input language
for an expression, and doesn't inherently apply to the entire $(())
(unlike the existing "[#n]" output-base flag). It would be better to
localise it; say, "floatops{2/3}" as a subexpression.
But I wonder why you want to do this at all. What application do you
have in mind?
