Allow contexts restricted to a smaller domain #16

Currently a ca_t allows representing any complex number together with infinities. It should be possible to initialize context objects that restrict computation to a smaller domain:

  • Algebraic numbers
  • Real algebraic numbers
  • Real algebraic numbers + infinities
  • Real numbers
  • Real numbers + infinities
  • Complex numbers
  • ...

Anything outside the supported set should give Undefined. For example, whereas sqrt(-1) -> i by default, one should have sqrt(-1) -> Undefined when working strictly with real numbers.
