I am probably missing your point, but I attach below the signature
what I am using at the moment (notice that I have yet to add
the definitions for MPFR).

/* Specializations of std::numeric_limits for multi-precision types.
    This will become obsolete when GMP and MPFR will provide the
    specializations by themselves.
