It just uses the machine floating point implementation, which is most
oftenly IEEE. However the good new

on IEEE 754 standards being implemented correctly. What is the
current state of 754 in Haskell?
The definition has this paragraph, which makes me suspect Haskell is
not appropriate for this
application:
