[Cfp-interest] signaling NaN I/O issue?

[Rajan Bhakta]

Hi Jim,

I was saying that the fact that given we do not yet require functions to 
signal when passed in a sNAN, why are we making the stdio family of 
functions a special case in that they must signal and convert the argument 
to a qNAN? I don't think that special casing certain library functions is 
a good idea due to the precedent it would set.

Hi Rajan,

Just before leaving the teleconference this morning you commented on the 
last item in Fred's paper (re 7.21.1). Afterwards we weren't sure we'd 
understood your point. Please clarify.
