I am surprised that there are compilers that are that limited for fixed
point, but in any case no "verification" is required. It is true that
a compiler may reject small's that are not powers of 2, but it is
MANDATORY that they do this at compile time, treating the offending
declarations as illegal. A compiler that silently ignord small
specifications would be non-conforming (and I would consider that
a pretty serious bug!)
