I believe that a portable implementation of the proposed std::decimal
(eg Decimal Types for C++ would be useful.
I'm currently working on this for my own purposes, and if there is sufficient interest (and guidance!) might try to expand it into a draft submission.
I'm interested. Seems like it would be a great addition to Boost.
Of course this is definitely something Boost needs in its tool chest. But to 'sell' it to Boost, I think it is important to relate to commercial offerings and previous proposals to WG21 C++ Standards. So say how and why you have done it differently? Paul --- Paul A.
