This is made in D76599 by representing floating point pragmas with a special 
statement node. These nodes allow an AST consumer like CodeGen or constant 
evaluator to maintain current set of floating options when it traverses AST. 
This approach looks simpler and more consistent as global state is represented 
as a variable in AST consumer and is not replicated to every relevant node. It 
makes easier to implement codegen for things like rounding mode, when change of 
the FP state requires specific instructions. A pragma statement can be used to 
generate required code. But if the state is spread by several nodes, it is more 
difficult for codegen to create necessary prolog/epilog code. Now compiler does 
not have support of properties that need synchronization with hardware, so 
these problems are not topical yet, but they eventually will arise.
