The only way I can think of that isn't really intrusive (like your
`posZero` thing) is to define your own `writef`/`format` wrappers (what
I'd do is check any doubles, and replace them when necessary).
Another thing to do is to catch it at the source. That is, when you
store a value somewhere where it might be printed, if it's `-0.0`,
change it to `0.0`.
Note that if ldc is optimizing out an addition with 0, and that actually
changes the observable results, that technically is an invalid optimization.
