To something that can correctly evaluate sqrt(100)==10.

Any suggestion (which is not 1000 times slower than the current system)?

I'm an illustration major, not compsci.

So then let the compscis decide what's feasible and what not.

Yeah. We know what you need and what you don't. ;)
Seriously, sometimes something can look pretty simple and obvious and one
tends to think "how come they never have thought of this?". However, usually
when you care to find out about the issue you discover that it's one of
the things first considered and usually quickly discarded as completely
unfeasible. The reasons for discarding it may not always be obvious, but
they are usually very justifiable.
