Implement 128-bit float from IEEE 754-2008 #101

The main problem would be that the native support in programming language is near to non-existent. As far as I see in Wikipedia, there is some marginal support in Fortran and C/C++ compilers, but virtually nothing beyond that.

I have seen Float80 somewhere, I think it was in Hachoir. Same argument.
