It is a long, winding e-mail, suggesting an extension for "high precision arithmetic support".
It is written in a way so that at least I cannot right away understand what this is supposed
to be, or how it does anything that "numeric" doesn't.

At the end of your e-mail, it turns out that you are looking for someone to implement this
not very well specified extension for you, for free.

I am not surprised that you got no response. You'll have to write that extension yourself
or hire someone to do it for you (but then you should come up with a better specification).
