I have big plans with floating-point CTFE and all are elastic: the faster CTFE

slowdown of FP CTFE would be essentially a strategic loss. -- Andrei
Based on my experience with soft float on DOS, and the fact that CPUs are what,
1000 times faster today, I have a hard time thinking of a case where that would
be a big problem.
I can't see someone running a meteorological prediction using CTFE :-)
