We can use this "issue" to track any investigations into libraries to support 128-bit precision arithmetic.

The GNU GMP library looks like a good candidate but it is licensed through the GPL which makes it incompatible with the Zig compiler since it uses the MIT license.

Another idea is to wait for the zig implementation (issue #364) and then port it to c++. Note that once zig self hosts then the standard library implementation will be what the compiler uses.
