There is some overlap with parts of
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p2551r0.pdf
regarding what "has_denorm" means for the new C++ traits. But the answer to
"what does the C macro mean?" and "what does the C++ trait mean?" should
not be the same, as they're actually asking different questions, and so the
proposed changes in this paper do not impact C++.
