Well, no, isless (x, 0) (or !isgreaterequal (x, 0), since it doesn't 
matter what result a NaN gets).  If a quiet NaN is the argument, the 
"invalid" exception should not be raised, which >= will do (modulo bugs on 
some targets where unordered comparison instructions are wrongly used for 
ordered comparisons).  Bug 68264 filed.

I'd think this should respect the library's definition.  For glibc that is 
that underflow to 0 should set errno if the result would also underflow to 
0 in the default rounding mode, but underflow to subnormal result doesn't 
need to set errno, and neither does rounding-mode-dependent underflow to 0 
in cases where f (x) is very close to x for small x but in some rounding 
modes f of the least subnormal is 0.  (That caveat around f (x) close to x 
avoids possibly needing to set errno for the least subnormal only for lots 
of functions.)

These can overflow.

And this is the only case here where, given that caveat, underflow setting 
ERANGE is applicable with glibc, but overflow is not.
