Hi all.
On most modern CPUs there are numeric representations wider than 8-bytes
(aka float8 in PGSQL).
For example, Intel/AMD CPUs have native 12-bytes floating point numbers (aka
long double in C/C++).
I understand that it could not be non-standard from a clean SQL point of view.
Nonetheless,

No. Frankly I didn't know 12-byte floats were supported in CPUs until
you posted this. You could write your own data type to use it, of
course.
I didn't either, and have no use for them, but curiousity compels me
to wonder how
