702 ;;Quote: to bound numeric error, a programmer must be able to predicate how the compiler generates floating-point operations
702 ;;Quote: if subexpressions are higher precision than variables, common subexpression elimination may be wrong
703 ;;Quote: a program may use double precision for precise products of single precision or for testing near zero results
703 ;;Quote: associative and distributive reordering can change the propagation of error; parentheses should always be honored
705 ;;Quote: strict evaluation is wrong for mixed precision expressions; e.g., 7.0/3.0*d should be all double precision
706 ;;Quote: use widest needed precision when evaluating mixed precision expressions
