+// NOTE: __int128_t and boost::multiprecision::int128_t are not 
interchangeable.
+// For example, __int128_t does not have any member function, and does not have
+// operator<<(std::ostream, __int128_t). On the other hand, the behavior of
+// boost::multiprecision::int128_t might be surprising with some configs (e.g.,
+// static_cast<uint64_t>(boost::multiprecision::uint128_t) might return
+// ~uint64_t{0} instead of the lower 64 bits of the input).

       Fun :-)
