sure.  You could go the KSP route and write your own FP.  There are still problems like the various krakens.  KSP is obviously not so critical that krakens are life- or project- jeopardizing...  But imagine being NASA for example, designing real world satellite guidance systems that must operate over many orders of magnitude.<p>If you&#x27;re using IEEE floating points, your systems will silently fail and (rarely) give an error like NaN.  IEEE intervals will work, but often give a diagnostically useless answer.  Unums have characteristic signatures that hint where to look to find the problematic calculation.  You can then backtrack and redo the calculation at a higher precision and drop back to the standard precision as necessary.  This is, of course, automatable.
