I don't want to replace (x == 0.) by (x < 0. ? (x > -DBL_MIN) : (x <
DBL_MIN)) for the simple cases (e.g., I assigned 0. to x earlier, did
some other stuff which may have altered x, and now I want to see if x
was altered). I want the compiler to take care of that for me. My
experience says that most compilers do. Don't bother telling me my
expectations are too high.
