There's also a new set of numbers.[ch] up at
http://home.thezone.net/~gharvey/guile/numbers-r1.tar.gz

This modifies numbers to replace the functions previously defined as
$foo to foo, and operate on real numbers. With this, the dependancy on
transcend for proper operation (for the most part) is removed, though
if you want to use complex numbers, you'll have to do a 
(use-modules (ice-9 transcend))

It also includes a diff to the boot-9 from the aforementioned package
to remove the default inclusion of the transcend module in guile at
startup.
