Indeed it helps. I ended up with the roughly same algorithm but I guess 
I failed horribly at turning it into a macro. I'll try to get it right.

What part of this thing is not standard ?
Why do you split the double in 2 parts instead of storing it in a 
integral_constant<uint64_t> ?

Can't it be easier if we defines a float as a value in [0,1> and a power 
of ten aka FLOAT(0.146824,+6) then ocnvert the a*10^b into m*2^e ?

Is boost::mpl::double_ planne dot be merged sometimes in main trunk ?

Thanks in advance
