/*
 * Fused multiply-add: Compute x * y + z with a single rounding error.
 *
 * A double has more than twice as much precision than a float, so
 * direct double-precision arithmetic suffices.
 *
 * XXX We are relying on the compiler to convert from double to float
 *     using the current rounding mode and with the appropriate
 *     side-effects.  But on at least one platform (gcc 3.4.2/sparc64),
 *     this appears to be too much to ask for.  The precision
 *     reduction should be done manually.
