It might make sense to let the template parameter only specify a
*default* precision for the instances, and still allow the actual
precision to be changed at runtime. Ideally, the C++ classes should be
written so that they are independent of the global default precision
of the C interface. Don't know how hard or easy that is to implement,
though.
