That still amounts to making it a requirement for all numeric classes, even 
ones that predate this patch.  So existing classes that are registered will no 
longer comply with the ABC.  

In general, it's hard to add methods to ABCs because an ABC makes a promise 
about what methods are available in any class registered to that ABC.
