Hi Rich,

Not right now. I am a bit swamped with paperwork and administration stuff 
for now. I noticed this in a code review of work done in another language 
and another way. I always cross reference MUSL as I treat it a bit like 
the gold standard for such libraries. I can work on it when some of the 
others in my team get back from hoilidays late next month and take some of 
my load off. If it is needed earlier, somebody else will need to attack 
it. I am not a user of the FORCE_EVAL()) macro or the other techniques 
like __math_uflow() to achieve that exception so I need to check how they 
are used so I follow the same style.

They are.
