I think it's closer to "fundamental notions" rather than "details". For
users who bother to read the GCC manual there's a decent chance it wouldn't
be for naught.

For documentation, I was thinking

  Together with -fexcess-precision=standard, -ffp-contract=off
  is necessary to ensure that rounding of intermediate results to precision
  implied by the source code and the FLT_EVAL_METHOD macro is not
  omitted by the compiler.
