Category: Editorial change/non-normative contribution

Committee Draft subsection: 7.6.3.2

Title: Obscure wording in fesetround


Detailed description:

What happens if its argument uses one form of zero where a macro expands to
another form of zero (see 6.1.2.8.2 Integer types)?  It uses the term
"match", which is not defined elsewhere and could mean either numeric
equality or representational equality.  I suggest changing "does not match"
to "is not equal to".
