+only currently available hardware implementation of this datatype are Google's
+Cloud TPUs. As such, this package is suitable to evaluate whether using TPUs
+would cause precision problems for any particular algorithm, even without
+access to TPU hardware. Note that this package is designed for functionality,
+not performance, so this package should be used for precision experiments
+only, not performance experiments.")
