Surely this is standard already?
Swift is getting 128-bit FP at some time in the future. One suspects that will coincide with MacOS getting beefed up.
If you're simulating physics from black holes down to quarks then you need higher precision because you're doing arithmetic between values of vastly different scale. In that case you might even need 256-bit fp.
