I'd welcome comments, and if folks would like to try and break it, that
would be cool too ;-)
Awesome work!
A minor nit: In the second paragraph of the preliminary docs, the
back end being discussed is cpp_bin_float (binary: base-2).
The typedefs mentioned, however, are for decimal types such as
cpp_dec_float_50 (radix-10, base 10). A modification of the
preliminary documentation seems to be in order.
Awesome big numbers, John! I can't wait to get my grubby little
hands on these...
Sincerely, Chris.

Folks,
One of the main feature requests during the multiprecision lib review was
for a binary floating point type.
There is now such a type in the sandbox under the
"multiprecision.cpp_bin_float" directory - you will also need latest SVN
Trunk to try this out. This new type is correctly rounded to nearest for
all arithmetic operations plus binary-decimal conversions and sqrt. Minimal
docs so far here:
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/multiprecision.cpp_bin_float/libs/mu...
