mpf_set_d

[delta trinity]

You can adjust the precision of the mpf structure.

Either with mpf_set_default_prec, which set default precision for subsequent 
mpf_init, or with mpf_set_prec, in which case you can change precision of a 
specific mpf_t variable.

Note that if you already initialized and assigned a value to an mpf_t, 
increasing precision after that won't get you back the precision you lost 
during the assignment.  You need to re-assign your variable to it, or use 
mpf_set_default_prec before mpf_init.
