While working on my ContinuedFractions library today, it occured to me that our current representation of pi could be simplified by just specifying the numerators and denominators as series...
I went ahead and changed the implementation to use a new SeriesCF class instead of the default ContinuedFraction class and I think the new approach is much cleaner.

Ok, well... it is QUITE a bit slower this way.... but the code looks much cleaner and it doesn't have to maintain state... I dunno - have to think about it some more.
Actually, I have changed all the code so that the base ContinuedFraction assumes that everything is a series of some sort (ie: removed the SeriesCF extension). This also forced me to reconsider how certain ones were being done (like e) and come up with equations for them as well.
