Yeah it's now the right time to announce things and at the same time
be clear about what to expect and what to not (yet) expect from pd
double extended. Tomorrow I'll have time to do some detailed
announcements. Could we collect tests patches somewhere? I have a lot
of testpatches already in the original set on:

http://www.katjaas.nl/doubleprecision/doubleprecision.html (page bottom)

Most of these are functional tests and performance tests, but there's
also a directory 'precision-tests' with examples, some of which are
also shown on mentioned page.
