Arbitrary precision reals?

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

David Lester, who I saw today by coincidence, has a very nice
arbitrary-precision real arithmetic package, which he is planning to
finish up and offer to us Haskellites.  I'll leave him to say when, and
what it does, but it's a very cool thing and I hope we can persuade him
to give it to us soon.
