Hello,
I agree that the extended type is not portable and not as fast as double.
But sometimes, we absolutely need numerical precision, so we have to assume the costs in terms of runtime
and possibly nonportability. When the algorithms are nearly optimal, there is no room for software

That's good news, does Delphi need to add a boolean8/16/32 some day,
or
already has?
I don't know. FPC needed it for GTK interfacing, but FPC doesn't use
it.
