I'm leaning towards ...

namespace boost {
   namespace mpfp {   // multi-precision floating point

      class real;
      class complex;

   } // mpfp
} // boost

That's a good one.We'll put it on the list. Thank you.

Also, what does it mean for an integer type to be *multi-precision* ? Is it
something along the lines of BigInt ?

Yes it would be a big integer. But we're not working on it now.
Maybe *precision* isn't right for integer types.

Sincerely, Chris.
