+synopsis:       Non IEEE-754 compliant compile-time floating-point optimisations
+description:
+    The "Numeric.FastMath" module brings into scope RULES for 'Float's and
+    'Double's that rewrite @x-x@, @0*x@ and @x*0@ to @0@. This disagrees
+    with IEEE-754 when @x@ is @NaN@, but is acceptable for most
+    applications.
+    .
+    Importing "Numeric.FastMath.Infinitesimal" also rewrites @0/x@ to @0@.
+    .
+    Optimisation (at least @-O1@) must be enabled for any RULES to take effect.
