Hi,
There is ISO/IEC TR 24733 draft on decimal floating-point arithmetic. I found old thread by Stefan Slapeta: Decimal floating point library [1] I wonder, what is status of this idea in Boost?

Sadly the GPL license put a blocker on using any of IBM's code inside Boost, as was noted by several people at the time http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/02/101466.php We need someone to start from scratch in a 'clean room'?
