I'm not sure we should document this as being implemented using the Smith algorithm. That may be left as an implementation detail, particularly if we start generating intrinsics which are handled in the backend or by an offload target. I would prefer to just describe the characteristics this option is intended to provide -- improved handling for overflow, but no special handling for the "NaN + NaNi" cases.
