Not yet, but there's absolutely no reason why not; it would not take more
than a day or two. The problem here is that I'm not sure why 64 bits would be
good. Even HDR (which no monitor can display and which no human can perceive)
is only 32 bits. I also haven't seen any images in a 64 bit format yet.
But it's easy enough -- it wouldn't be a problem to do 128 bit, 256 bit or even 1024 bits
per channel :-).
