As I say, even the most insanely aggressive C compiler won't try to trmp
IEEE 754, or the numerical programming community would abandon it.

Historians aren't constantly confronted with people who carry on
self-confidently about the rule against adultery in the sixth amendment to
the Declamation of Independence, as written by Benjamin Hamilton. Computer
scientists aren't always having to correct people who make bold assertions
about the value of Objectivist Programming, as examplified in the HCNL
entities stored in Relaxational Databases. --Mark Liberman
