Cool, Walter does a pull request. Should this be put in the review queue
or is this a small enough change to be added anyway?
Seems a bit overkill to throw it in the review queue, but I don't know how
rigorous we want to be about that.
Probably the main point of this module is to demonstrate how to do new
arithmetic types like this without needing compiler support. It also shows how
to do IEEE floating point rounding correctly, which is not obvious and not trivial.
This particular type is a standard type and crops up in graphics code, so there
is a use for it.
