RE: [boost] Re:(boost) Fixed point integer template library

Is there any way to combine such an effort with the inclusion of some
"fraction" syntax, allowing for efficient (and exact, when possible)
computation of the previously debated "a*b/c" pattern?

I think that would be an excellent addition to Boost, particularly in
light of Boost's meta-purpose to suggest new features for the
C++ standard.  This relates to C/C++ compatibility because WG14
is currently doing work in fixed-point types for the benefit of embedded
systems.  You might want to check out PDTR 18037 at
