when the FP
number is interpreted as an integer, is largely lost, so I think that's best
left to the implementer. And, when an FPU is not present, this is where
quad precision must live, so why not put it in the gcc plan and

cimal arithmetic gets any market share at all in the COBOL
community, then, hey, competition is a good thing, maybe COBOL will improve
as a result, C++ decimal classes will improve too, and the users win. And,
a lot of people other than COBOL environments will benefit from decimal
arithmetic classes
such so a careful, maintainable set of algorithms that deal
simply and robustly with external decimal arithmetic formats is probably best
for those in a first generation library.
