I guess from your answer that such a warning would be complicated to implement, and if that's the case, I can imagine it would be low priority.
I assume the problem is more that it would be a weirdo check that becomes a maintenance burden ("what is this doing here? Do we still need it? who knows?") than that it would be hard to do. You can easily do it yourself as a workaround... if not str(np.longdouble(2)**64 - 1).startswith("1844"): warn("Printing of longdoubles is fubared! Beware! Beware!") -- Nathaniel
