While I certainly hope this research would eventually

something like that would probably be a very good idea.
I totally agree.
Thanks to operator overloading and alias this, we can probably
do a pretty good job implementing unums as a library so that
people can try it out.
It may be easier to link to the reference C implementation first.
I note that I haven't seen any feedback from Walter or Andrei. I
can only assume that neither are interested in this subject.
