When you say that you "could really use real(10) and real(16)",
is either type already available on the Mac?  I wasn't not
thinking about doing a software implementation of either type.

On powerpc-darwin, real(16) is supported up to a point but since
Apple messed up things, it does not work for any language except for
languages which support C as things like sqrtl just point to the 64bit
version. I wished Apple really thought this through instead of just
changing math.h. Maybe I should have written in when they were designing
this but I did not know they would mess it up this far.
