I'd like more feedback on pioneer implementor and user experience with NCEG's
draft technical report, "Floating-Point C Extensions" (FPCE).  Answers to any
or all of the following would be much appreciated.  Please respond to
jim_thomasataligent.com .

1. Have you implemented FPCE, or parts of it?  Describe the implementation: 
platform, IEEE conformance, expression evaluation method(s), etc.  How did it
go?

2. If you decided not to implement certain parts of FPCE, which parts and why?

3. If you decided not to implement FPCE, why?

4. Have you programmed for an implementation supporting FPCE?  Which parts
were helpful?  Which parts weren't?
