      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.

      What are you trying to say?
