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.

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.
