[Cfp-interest] DFP: *_TRUE_MIN

[Fred J. Tydeman]

C11 adopted
  FLT_TRUE_MIN
  DBL_TRUE_MIN
 LDBL_TRUE_MIN
as the names of the smallest subnormal number.
The name changed as C1x was being done.

The DFP Tech Report currently has:
  DEC32_SUBNORMAL_MIN
  DEC62_SUBNORMAL_MIN
 DEC128_SUBNORMAL_MIN
which matches the pattern of an early C1x proposal.

I believe that the DFP names should change to 
match C11.  So,  SUBNORMAL should be TRUE.
