Comment (by igloo):
Well, currently it doesn't provide quad precision anyway, so nothing is
lost by removing it.
However, there are a couple of issues with removing it:
* The FFI addendum says that we should provide it
* The code is a CPP tangle with the GHC, hugs and nhc implementations of
it. I don't know if anything ''really'' implements it.
There's also more work involved in implementing it than I'd previously
realised. I'll revisit it after removing decodeDoubleInteger.
