With the C and C++ committee's working on a decimal arithmetic technical report, have you considered how your library will support future decimal types that come out of that effort?
Depends on what you mean. My decimal type will probably be obsolete when these new types arrive but the money type shold be able to use them with a wrapper for construction and extraction.
What I had in mind was something along the lines of Daniel Frey's basic_decimal<T> suggestion that might be able to adapt to future T decimal types. Just a thought.
Also, I have tried to look at the committe's work but don't really understand how rounding will work with these new types.
IIUC, details will be based on the new IEEE 754R standard, so you might want to look at that. --Beman
