I think they all should be the same, but I'm note sure if they should all be 
"fnc" or "fng".

Looking at the C17 standard, in section F.10.6 (IEE754/IEC60559 behaviour of 
nearest integer functions) round, trunc, floor, and ceil are all described in 
the same way: "The xyz functions may, but are not required to, raise the 
"inexact" floating-point exception for finite non-integer arguments". I don't 
know if our policy should be "These functions may raise an exception, therefore 
we should assume they do and treat that as a side-effect", or "These functions 
are not required to raise an exception, therefore a program can't rely on it 
and so we don't need to treat it as a side-effect".

Looking at implementations of these functions, it looks like GNU libm doesn't 
raise inexact, but the bionic libm does. I think I'm leaning towards marking 
all of them as "fng" as it's the more cautious of the two.
