 The default LLVM floating-point environment assumes that traps are disabled and
 status flags are not observable. Therefore, floating-point math operations do
 not have side effects and may be speculated freely. Results assume the
-round-to-nearest rounding mode.
+round-to-nearest rounding mode, and subnormals are assumed to be preserved.
+Running default LLVM code in an environment where these assumptions are not met
+can lead to undefined behavior.

+The representation bits of a floating-point value do not mutate arbitrarily; if
+there is no floating-point operation being performed, the NaN payload (if any)
+is preserved.

floating point bits *do* mutate arbitrarily on 32-bit x86:
here, all I do is bitcast `0x7f800001` to `float`, return it from a function, then bitcast back to an integer -- that changes it to `0x7fc00001`.
