You can just say that (1) Clang is looking for a way to request operation-by-operation lowering, (2) it feels like `-fexcess-precision` is the right option to add that to, (3) we don't want to tread on toes by adding an alternative to "their" option without talking to them first, and (4) what do they think about "none"?
