yeah i'd expect it to be a bit faster, but e.g. a
target may prefer sign?-1/EPS:1/EPS to 1/EPS|sign,
and you need a threshold check even if there is no
inexact overflow issue:

#else
	if (abstop >= 0x43300000) return (long)x;
	/* |x| < 2^52 <= 1/EPS */

i can try to benchmark this (although on x86_64 and
aarch64 there is single instruction lrint so i can
only benchmark machines where this is not relevant).
