+fixed-point number represents a fractional, or non-integral, number.  In
+contrast with the more widely known floating-point numbers, with fixed-point
+numbers the decimal point doesn't \"float\": fixed-point numbers are
+effectively integers that are interpreted as being scaled by a constant
+factor.  Consequently, they have a fixed number of digits (bits) after the
+decimal (radix) point.")
