/**
 * @file
 * Implements a Fixed-point data type.
 * This files defines a new data type
 * "FixedT<Tstorage, Tdec_bits>", which can be used to compute fractional
 * numbers without having to worry about network stability (because
 * there is no real rounding taking place.
 * Use "Fixed" for the defaults values (48 bits integral part, 16 bits
 * fractional part) or "FixedT<typename, int>" for flexible sizes. "int"
 * number of bits are taken from a variable of "typename" for the fractional
 * representation, the rest stays available for the integral part.
 * @warning More than 16 bits fractional should not be used when working
 * with large integers.
 * @warning More than 31 fractional bits are not supported, and will
 * trigger a compiler warning with appropriate settings.
 * @warning There are no warnings for buffer overflows. Those are very likely
 * to happen with divisions, as those first shift the numerator by the number
 * of fractional bits. Use multiplication with the reciprocal whereever
 * it is possible.
 * @warning Please use signed variables for storage at the moment ONLY
 *
 * Variables can be initialized:
 * 	- with integers: "FixedT<int, 9> a = -5"
 * 	- with fractionals: "FixedT<int64, 11> b(7, 2);" where the first number is
 * the numerator and the second is the denominator.
 * 	- not at all: "Fixed c;", which will automatically set c to zero.
 *
 * @example fixed_ex.cpp How to initialize Fixed-point data types
