  You're not on a limb, plenty of people agree with you.  Read the comment
trail on PR323 to hear all the arguments hashed out in endless depth:

  In any event, the way it's being resolved is to give everybody what they
want by providing the new -fexcess-precision= switch and let the user choose
on a case-by-case basis, which seems nice to me.

    cheers,
