It is not the compiler, but rather the library, that contains input
and output support. There are extensions to the printf() and
scanf() families in -lmcw that support 80-bit and 128-bit binary
floating point, and 32-bit, 64-bit, and 128-bit decimal floating
point. The integer support is as with C99: int, long int, and
long long int. There are no arbitrary-precision integers: that
is what -lgmp and -lmpfr are for.
