>From Clark Nelson:

> In my opinion, exactly how and where the macro is defined that indicates our conformance to the FP standard
> doesn't really matter. The point is that it is our intention to conform, at least to some degree and under 
> some circumstances.

> Under those circumstances, it would be wrong to map (0 * x) to 0 without regard to what x might be.
