FIXMES in arith.c question

Tobi,
I put some of the FIXME comments in arith.c because I
think some intermediate results may overflow the range of the
variable. Although MPFR currently has extended exponential
ranges, it isn't clear from their docs whether MPFR will adhere
to ieee754 with both significand and exponent range in the future.
I had intended to come back to arith.c and revisit those
comments, but I'm still in the field with limited internet
access.
