I have big plans with floating-point CTFE and all are elastic: the
faster CTFE FP is, the more and better things we can do. Things that
other languages can't dream to do, like interpolation tables for
transcendental functions. So a slowdown of FP CTFE would be essentially
a strategic loss. -- Andrei
