An exact zero test for algebraic numbers, for when downcasting is removed #2164
A constant built from radicals currently reaches 0 by evaluation. It is computed to 100 digits, and downcasting takes any residual under 1e-50 as 0 (measured on #2143). So a check that answers 0 cannot tell an identity from a near miss. For example, take 8y^3 + 4y^2 - 4y - 1 at the Cardano root for cos(2pi/7):
as written, it simplifies to 0;
with one 7 changed to 7 + 10^(-50), it also simplifies to 0, although its value is 2.48e-52 - 3.26e-52 i.
#1019 removes downcasting in v3. A constant like this one then no longer reaches 0 at all, and two things depend on it reaching 0 today:
