Not here, but this is about the APFloat::APFloat constructor, which 
(presently) assumes PPC style unless told otherwise:

APFloat var(3); // Creates PPC.
APFloat var(3, true); // Creates IEEE.

Presumably, PPC, being the only target around using 128-bit float for a while, 
misappropriated this.

It sounds like you're in favour of removing the default all together, which I 
think I prefer to just toggling it too.
