PowerPC IEEE 128-bit floating point: Language standards

[Michael Meissner]

I have not been following the language standards recently.  For any of the
recent language standards, or the standards that are being worked on, will
there be requirements for an IEEE 128-bit binary floating point type?  For the
C/C++ languages, is this type long double, or is another type being proprosed
(such as __float128)?
