Before inventing another part of the wheel, please review

P2551 Clarify intent of P1841 numeric traits
https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/1211

and

P1841 Wording for Individually Specializable Numeric Traits
https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/594

I think the general direction already got LEWG approval,
but the paper is waiting for the paper author to apply
the changes from P2551, as far as I can remember.

Please discuss the next steps with the author of P1841.

Having more floating-point information would enable users to implement a lot more things portably using the information they get from the standard library.
