This is all quite discouraging from a scientific programmers 
point of view. Precision is important, more precision is good, 
but reproducibility and predictability are critical.

Tables of constants that change value if I put a `static` in 
front of them?

Floating point code that produces different results after a 
compiler upgrade / with different non-fp-related switches?

Ewwwww.
