C++ proposal: There are 8 bits in a byte

Thank you, I found this hint very interesting. Is there a source you wouldn't mind pointing me to for those "head, tail" methods?

I am assuming it relates to the kinds of "variable precision floating point with bounds" methods used in CGAL and the like; Googling turns up this survey paper:

Any additional references welcome!

Note here is a good starting point for the issue itself: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.exact.html
