Sure, the Wikipedia article is where I noticed the critique. Not
all of its criticisms are addressed by Unum II and III. And it's still
interesting, given who wrote it. :) I think posits are lovely, and I've
never enjoyed dealing with IEEE 754, but it's not clear to me that the
resource-use discussion is closed.
