I don't like this approach. I mean, I get the motivation, but I'm not sure this is the right way to address it.  Three issues:

1. Even if we don't break the "tail" requirements right now, it's likely if someone did introduce a way, they wouldn't notice this code (which isn't even in the same file).
2. A lot of combines create calls, but return some other value.
3. For the floating-point routines, we probably want to add "tail" unconditionally.
