Isn't it about time to separate Maxima's "bfloat" package & make it
a 'standard' Common Lisp extension. This would eliminate the need
for a whole new set of functions and names which already exist in
Common Lisp for hacking floating point representations.
I, for one, would love the convenience of having bfloats in a
non-Maxima Common Lisp.
