Hmm.  Apparently there's not much interest in decimal floating
point at all just now, or at least, not the way I brought it up.

But I am undeterred, and since no one said it was a bad idea :-),
I'll post an RFC patch in a few days, containing a first tranche
of prototype modifications, and see what people think of that.
