You do realise that you need to store arbitrary binary blobs which don't nicely align to memory words?
And that once you can store them you need to write custom functions that do bitwise manipulation on those arbitrary blocks of memory?
The stuff that's done in hardware for you on all binary fp?
Meanwhile in racket I got arbitrary balanced ternary manista and exponent precision in less time it took to write this post. Something that not available in C/Cpp even for binary fp?
