I'm not a language geek.

Wikipedia says:

  In C and related programming languages, long double refers
  to a floating-point data type that is often more precise than
  double-precision.

Notice the "often" in there.


Maybe useful info here:
  http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-dev/user/basics.types.html

There is a float64 but no float128
