I would vote for just deleting the sentence Fred quoted. The notion of
"precise exceptions" is normally applied to actual interruptions of the
control flow, which I don't think is the case here. To me, this adds more
confusion than value. I don't think the clarification helps a lot, since
presumably the floating-point value is used somehow.
