Currently, F.3#7 says
The signbit macro, providing the ISO/IEC 60559 isSignMinus operation,
determines the sign of its argument value as the sign bit of the values
representation. This applies to all values, including NaNs whose sign bit
is not generally interpreted by ISO/IEC 60559.
As per F.2.2#3, this use of NaN would mean a quiet NaN only.
Should not the end of that sentence read as
.... all values, including <<< both quiet and signaling >>> NaNs whose
sign bit is not generally interpreted by ISO/IEC 60559.
where obviously my extraneous use of <<< and >>> will disappear.
Thanks - Damian
