I would advise using IEEE 754-2008 names in psABIs where available (e.g.
binary128). (Of course you need to deal with the non-IEEE types such as
x86 extended precision, but IEEE names are standard and unambiguous up to
endianness for binary interchange formats, and unambiguous up to
endianness and BID / DPD choice for decimal interchange formats.)
