[Cfp-interest 2794] "floating" vs "floating-point", and hyphens

[Vincent Lefevre]

There is an inconsistent use of "floating" vs "floating-point"
in N3149 (2023-07-02 working draft):

*** followed by "values" ***

Page 23, footnote 24: "floating-point values"

Page 24, 5.2.4.2.2p15: "floating values"

Page 46, footnote 65: "real floating values"

(BTW, the whole sentence "Thus, the range of portable real floating
values is (−1, Utype_MAX + 1)." needs to be clarified.)

Page 158, footnote 203: "floating-point values"

Page 239, 7.12.3p1: "Floating-point values"

Page 359, 7.24.1.5p9: "hexadecimal floating source value"

Page 359, footnote 357: "floating value"

Page 435, 7.31.4.1.2p11: "hexadecimal floating source value"

Page 436, footnote 422: "floating value"

Page 508, Ep4: "floating values"

Page 517, F.4p1: "floating-point value" (1 time) and
"floating value" (3 times)

Note: "floating-point value(s)" would be consistent with
"floating-point number(s)".

*** followed by "expression(s)" ***

Page 14, 5.1.2.3p14: "floating-point expressions"

Page 48, 6.3.1.8p2: "floating expressions"

Page 72, 6.5p8: "floating expression"

Page 94, 6.6p5: "floating expression"

Page 600, J.3.6p1, (10): "floating expressions"

*** followed by "environment" ***

Page 151, 6.7.12.7.2p8: "floating environment" while
"floating-point environment" is used most of the time,
including in the same paragraph.

and below:

  // We assert that distance will not see different states of the floating
  // point environment.

there should be a hyphen after "floating".

*** followed by "result(s)" ***

Page 24, 5.2.4.2.2p14: "floating-point results"

Page 235, 7.12p5: "floating result"

Page 239, 7.12.1p5: "floating result" (4 times)

Page 560, H.6p2: "decimal floating-point results"

Page 600, J.3.6p1, (1): "floating-point results"

*** followed by "number" ***

Page 335, 7.23.6.1p11: "hexadecimal floating number" while
"floating-point number(s)" is used most of the time.

*** followed by "argument" ***

Page 269, footnote 296: "floating second argument"

Page 534, F.10.6.10 & F.10.6.11: "floating-point argument" (3 times)

Page 597, (206): "decimal floating argument"

Page 597, (207): "standard floating or complex argument" and
"decimal floating type argument"

Page 48, 6.3.1.8p2: "floating operands"

*** hyphen issues ***

Page 511, F.1p4: "Floating to integer conversions"

Page 517, F.4 title: "Floating to integer conversion"

Page 517, footnote 443: "floating-to-integer conversions"

Page 533, F.10.6.5: "floating-to-integer conversion"

Page 587, (57): "floating to integer conversion"

And finally:

Page 675: "floating point standard" → "floating-point standard"
