Why not let users check the exactness of the initialization themselves?
Something like:
static constexpr const char* init = "3.1415926535897932384626433";
and then user can do
template<typename Dec>
inline constexpr auto my_pi = exact_from_chars<Dec>(init);
Where exact_from_chars would fail(assert/throw/return ec/...) when decimal
number in string can not be exactly represented by Dec.
Obviously this should be done in a way that it is easy to transform the
init array(potentially multidimentional) into array of Dec, beside
supporting just scalar scenario, but this seems ok solution to me.
