I haven't read through SG14, but I'm wondering why the fixed point implementation doesn't provide bases other than binary. Fixed point math has uses well beyond game development, and honestly too many people just use floating point by default.
For example, a decimal base is useful for representing prices that are otherwise unrepresentable in binary (e.g. a penny).
