#11103: gmp_float backend with variable precision does not have distributive
property
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------
 Reporter:  Tobias Beck <Tobias.Beck@…>  |      Owner:  johnmaddock
     Type:  Bugs                         |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined             |  Component:  multiprecision
  Version:  Boost 1.57.0                 |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                               |
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------
 A simple example (attached) shows that the GMP backend (and MPFR as well)
 do not fulfill the distributive property when variable precision is
 chosen. This happens when values are initialized by fractions. It does not
 happen, when values are initialized by simple double values.
