How does it work?

I've been playing with the routines in flopoco 
(https://gforge.inria.fr/scm/?group_id=1030), which (among other nicely 
portable tools) has a nice tool for resizing - actually it's a zero 
counter and a shift left, so the essence of a resize.

It's the next thing I'm going to be implementing so it would be great to 
combine effort on this. I'm not currently using fixbv, but a kind of 
meta type of an intbv and a separate exponent.

Cheers,

Henry
