So, learned something new from WG14 today, namely that C standardised
optional fixed point arithmetic back in 2004, with a second edition in
2008. I didn't know that before. Here is a pre-publication draft of the
standard *ISO/IEC TR 18037:2008*:

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1169.pdf

Why doesn't WG21 simply adopt this instead of the (library) fixed point
arithmetic proposals currently before it?
