[Cfp-interest] Wording on frexp

[Fred J. Tydeman]

Consider the following code:

#include <math.h>  // Not <tgmath.h>
  int expon;
  double     z1 = frexp( 100.DD, &expon );  // decimal FP arg to generic parameter
  _Decimal64 z2 = frexpd64( 100., &expon ); // generic FP arg to decimal parameter

Should the wording talk about
  If value is a decimal FP number...
  If value is of decimal FP type...
  If the parameter value is a decimal FP number...
  If the parameter value is of decimal FP type...

The existing wording is not clear to me if it is talking
about the actual argument or the formal parameter.
