Initialization that's meant to cover all floating-point modes logically 
should not rely on everything being reachable by the "wider" relation.

That is, I'd expect it to do something equivalent to 
FOR_EACH_MODE_IN_CLASS (mode, MODE_FLOAT) rather than something based on 
"wider".  But if the initialization relies on some form of partial 
ordering (initializing some modes relies on other modes having been 
initialized first, in a way somehow related to the "wider" relation), it 
may be more complicated than that.
