Well, as long as there are not math functions for each type, I don't see 
the point in getting it right. In that precise case, real(16) will work, 
and reak(10) will not. We can then do better in another patch.

OK, noted. Although it's pretty annoying to develop a patch without 
being able to test it directly.
