multiprecision numerics for boost

Is anything on the roadmap for something like this, ala BCD?  I've seen the
GMP (C) library which looks portable and appropriately licensed, a quick fix
would be to put a C++ wrapper around it or rewrite it to a C++ idiom.

Given the rational number support, such an extension would be fill the
problem space of accurate fixed point calculations...

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks
