Hi,
I believe that a portable implementation of the proposed std::decimal (eg Decimal Types for C++ <http://tiny.cc/63ovcw> for older draft) would be useful. Since the standard specifies a class, a library should be able to achieve close to full compliance. At the moment I believe only gcc supports this.
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. Wouldn't http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2009/n2849.pdf be a better starting place? --Beman
