in thread significant digits in computations

What I am talking about is something that would track (and apply) significant digits internally. I could multiply a number with 2 significant digits by a number with 3 significant digits and when I went to display the results it would know that there were 2 significant digits and display apropriately without having to manually keep track of significant digits or decimal places myself.
