This can be very slow.

A drawback, when computing persistence, is that an empty exact interval [10^12,10^12] may become a non-empty approximate interval [10^12,10^12+10^6]. Using :code:`precision = 'fast'` makes the computations slightly faster, and the combinatorics are still exact, but -- cgit v1.2.3
