To be clear: I'm all for this, I agree that this would
be the cleanest approach.

However, now that the numeric_limits<> issue has been fixed
in another way, do you think that the compiler people will
accept that kind of work, which has the "only" motivation
of the fast float_to_char routines?

You understand that this kind of work, touching the compiler,
is something special for us, and *definitely* we must know at
the outset if the final patch will be well received or otherwise
we had better including tm.h ;) ...
