Meaning that Clang's `__float128` iosteams support (with libstdc++) would
diverge from GCC.
For example, Clang reports the call below as ambiguous even with
`-mabi=ieeelongdouble`:
```
void f(double);
void f(long double);
void g(__float128 f128) { f(f128); }
```

Insofar as the user experience goes, is this lack of iostreams support for
`__float128` (even with `-mabi=ieeelongdouble`) within the realm of the
intended design of libstdc++?
