Maybe it's a good argument for my next salary talk! (Look, so many
unused digits! :-)

Will it be 63 digits? Or even more? 127? Which one will be affected?
Longer integers, too? Binary? More significant digits for floats? (Not
that i ever needed them :-)

If you can't tell us all these secrets, when and where will it be
official?

Thanks, have another one! Cheers!
