As far as I remember (and I've supported my memory reading
checked_numeric_limits.hh) it's already implemented.

The funny part is that I'm almost sure Roberto added it (with a little
help from myself).

We definitely must remove some work from your shoulder, "all work and no
play makes Jack..." :-D

That apart the use of rand(3) to generate random coefficients is suboptimal.
The range is limited from 0 to RAND_MAX (2147483647 on ia32).
