Joseph S. Myers on the WG14 email list asks:
Should we specify the preferred quantum exponent for the return value of
the fromfp functions for decimal floating types? The lack of such a
specification is another issue arising from the change in C23 to give
these functions a floating return type, that I noticed while reviewing
N3877 (it is, however, a separate issue from that one about specifying the
sign of a zero return value, and can be addressed separately).
