      <h2>Abstract</h2><p>   This SRFI is an updated version of <a href="https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-144/">SRFI   144</a> that allows an implementation to support multiple flonum representations.   Each flonum has its own separate library. Each library also has the   ability to inspect properties of the flonum operations, such as rounding   mode and deviations from IEEE 754 arithmetic. New flonum operations are   also available, such as serialization and   operations corresponding to IEEE 754-2019 and C23. </p></body></html>
