Description

Useful internal functions to render some rational, algebraic numbers and exponential form of complex number aren't always producing the best result when used outside state rendering (**standalone** number rendering rather than **coefficients**). Now that we want to add a few other use cases we may want to fix that.
UPDATE:
Standalone rendering is now supported. The remaining part is only about improvements.
