Be sure to check the size of your type with your compiler. Some embedded 
and DSP compilers in the past made types that derive from operators 
larger. Although I think that was partially due to a operators bug that 
was fixed a long time ago.

There have been several fixed-point libraries discussed on this list you 
should search the archives including one very interesting one built on 
proto by Maurizio Vitale IIRC.
