It probably should, but those kinds of things don't just magically =
appear
out of thin air: Somebody(TM) has to do the actual work to implement the
support, test it, maintain it, and so on.  Apparently there has not yet
been any great need for this floating point precision.

Are you volunteering? :)

P.S.: I believe one of the first requirements is a <quadmath.h> header.
