This `else` is actually necessary, since this is an `if constexpr` expression, which is a more C++ friendly version of `#if #else #endif`.  Without enclosing the entire following part inside else { }, the compiler will put them in for x86 long double, and then generate a ton of warnings and errors, even though they are dead codes due to the return from the if clause.
