Not that it really matters, but the ordering seems a bit weird, the
existing functions are all:
X
X_noproto
Y
Y_noproto
etc...
but you broke this pattern. I only mention it because I have some
actual worthwhile points to raise below...

I noticed that the double test also includes a case which tests float to
double promotion, but that case is skipped here. Wouldn't it be a good
idea to include both float to long double and double to long double
tests here too?
Thanks,
Andrew
