I'm guessing that permanent vacation will be some mixture of actual
vacation and self-chosen "work".  In any case I hope you both enjoy
the time.

Are you going to put in something equivalent to quires ??

In posits, a quire is an accumulator with as many binary digits
as to cover max-exponent to min-exponent; so one can accumulate
an essentially unbounded number of sums without loss of precision
--to obtain a sum with a single rounding.

I don't know that usage, I thought quires was a typesetting/printing
measure?
