Hi John. Thanks.

I would like to report another success with the proposed
Boost.Multiprecision.

I added partial adherence to the backend requirements
for an mp_number to my fixed-point class and verified
the computation of the area of a circle of radius (123 / 100)
with it.

The beautiful set of numbers below shows the results of
the area for:

        1. fixed-point Q15.16
        2. built-in float of 4 bytes

        3. built-in double of 8 bytes

        4. cpp_dec_float_100
4.7528
4.7529159
4.7529155256159976
4.752915525615998190470133174563559913501897584314597596552993673698486406

Your wunderful creation provides unprecedented potential for
generic mathematical calculations!

Best regards, Chris.
