I just created my own (probably over-engineered) draft covering big integers, high precision floating point numbers, and fractions - please discuss: #249 Different to #248 by @gappleto97, I used different extension types for different things - thus, allowing do discuss the different aspects (big integers, high precision floats, fractions) separately, and also to add only selected ones to the spec. |

changed the title
modify fractions section, replace bignum with specific types

This proposal does not specify the binary format of the payload: two's compliment, signed magnitude, or one's compliment. Most arbitrary-precision integer libraries use signed magnitude. If signed magnitude were to be used, then the sign must appear somewhere in the message frame. |
