+[I] multiple-precision floating-point computations with exact rounding library
+
+[T] The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point
+[T] computations with exact rounding (also called correct rounding). It is
+[T] based on the GMP multiple-precision library.
+[T]
+[T] The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision
+[T] floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a well-defined
+[T] semantics. It copies the good ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for
+[T] double-precision floating-point arithmetic (53-bit mantissa).
