Well, still quite close.  Function arguments turned out to be a bad
choice, so Hal suggested using fast-math flags instead.  I guess there
isn't many other options.

Yes, that's what I did at the end.  Probably wasn't clear enough in my
previous email.

If you're talking about adding fast-math flags to constant expressions,
then I'm not going to try that.  It just that Language Reference doesn't
note this difference for binary operations inside/outside constant
expressions (maybe I didn't find it, but I was looking there).
