https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/c353ec0c9e8e941f49910a51f7dc10cf3d3cdd17/numeric.c#L3647
の `Integer#**` の rdoc で

```
 *    123456789 ** -2     #=> 6.5610001194102e-17
```

となっていますが、実際に試してみると `(1/15241578750190521)` になります。
どちらが正しいのでしょうか?

```
%  ruby -ve 'p 123456789 ** -2'
ruby 2.4.0dev (2016-05-02 trunk 54882) [x86_64-darwin14]

```
