At one point I needed more precision in floating point routines, so I
assembled Woz's 6502 floating point routines into a Pascal UNIT. Was
quite zippy too. In fact, I really should pull out some of those units
and put them up for download. There's another that I hacked together to
allow the use of double hires graphics as well, but it's actually
written in Pascal and is a little slow for some tasks.

But, of course, you couldn't bind the new routines to infix operators,
right?  Still had to use nested function calls to evaluate arithmetic
expressions...  This is one of the great reasons to allow overloading
operators.
