Probably it will be emulation just like those precise N-bit types. AFAIK x64 doesn't support those 64-bit/128-bit decimal types, and from reading about the format months back, it looks horrendous to do in software. I think, if your translator has to provide emulations, then you have your work cut out. But I believe some of these features will be optional.
