There should be nothing in the algorithms that depend on the parameters being Float64: BigFloat should in principle be allowed, though I suppose there may be assumptions on eps(T) for choosing cut-offs.

I would need to think very carefully about this. I agree that there is in principle nothing in the algorithm that requires Float64, but there are some algorithmic parameters that do...

We could have the routines allow for general choices of the parameters.  In the case of Float64 it uses the current defaults, otherwise, users have to specify their own.

I agree. It would also be exciting to add BigFloat versions of all the algorithms too.

I am working on a problem that would benefit from a BigFloat implementation of both gausslegendre and gausslaguerre. I hope this comment will bump this issue up the priority queue!

I have proposed it as an undergrad summer project so hopefully it can come together.
