I think that's a reasonable thing to do, but if that's the intent, I'd prefer to have #undef's in our own float.h to make it explicit that this is what we're doing (and so that our own headers don't generate warnings, even if they're suppressed).

It *is* a holiday weekend in the United States, where most of the code owners are located.

Committed as r134406 and r134407.
