Comment 1. 

Category: Normative change to existing feature retaining the original intent

Committee Draft subsection: 7.6.3.1

Title: fegetround and non-standard rounding modes


Detailed description:

What happens if the rounding mode is none of the ones defined above?  I
suggest adding to the end of paragraph 3:

    If the rounding mode does not match a rounding direction macro, an
    implementation-defined negative value is returned.
