Hi Jens —
BinaryFloatingPoint is very deliberately limited to the arithmetic operations
required by IEEE 754. This is the minimal set of operations that a binary
floating point type should provide, but it's already a really large
implementation burden for someone who wants to implement their ow
The code below doesn't compile since there is no exponential function (exp)
that works on all FloatingPoint or BinaryFloatingPoint types, also no
protocol seems to define the power function or the constant e, although
they do define for example: basic arithmetic operators, squareRoot() and pi.
