AFAICT, this also exposes a flaw in the very notion of the `canonical'
bit. __builtin_nan("0") and 0.0/0.0 will not pass real_identical(),
even though they produce the same bit pattern when converted to the
target format, if the target format has qnan_msb_set. I still feel
this is heading the wrong way :-(
