Rationale/Explanation of issue:

Float128 is specified in the Base specification, but not int128 and u_int128. Is there a particular need for Float128?. 

Furthermore, is Float128 even supported in most OSs?

Requested change:

Remove Float128 from the Base, unless somebody can tell that float128 is really needed and can be supported be the majority of known OSs.
