I'm interested. You may not know that there was a fixed decimal proposal that
rejected...5 years ago now?
You'll probably want to try and look at the review comments and see why it was

That's incorrect. There is support for 64-bit types. The documentation,
unfortunately, doesn't say so -- you have to read the header. I use
boost::int64_t and boost::uint64_t in date-time -- works on every platform
boost is ported to AFAIK.
