Fly on the wall, but at what point, upon removing all features that traditionally make something a "floating point number" (mantissa, zero, denorms, infinities) does something no longer make any sense at all being part of a floating point hierarchy. It's just a bit-vector with a special error value.

I'm not blocking this in any way or even asking seriously. Just kind of balking at the cargo cult mentality that is going into labeling bundling these things together like this.
