In CFP email, Fred Tydeman noted:
Searching for "infinite precision" in part 1, most of them have "(as if) to" before it. Except,
ffma,ffmal,dfmalwhich is missing the "(as if)".
Right. In particular, all the functions that round result to narrower type have
“(as if)”, except for the fma family.
In 14.5, in the new text for C 7.12.13a.5#2, insert “(as if)” before “to infinite precision”.
