Ummm... actually I don't like to increase the memory footprint for
all systems for a feature which nearly nobody ever needs. I think it
should be possible to print the large capacities without using such
data formats (I guess you don't need 64 bit precision).

How long does it take a DEC field service engineer to change a
lightbulb? It depends on how many bad ones he brought with him.
