Well, the ones in float.c are guarded by "#if (_MSC_VER >= 1800)" and
will therefore not get compiled by any non-MSVC compiler. I don't see
any entirely-unprotected #pragma uses in our tree, indicating that
we've not depended on any such assumption up to now.
Given that the whole file is platform-specific, it may well be fine;
I'm just voicing some concern. I suppose the buildfarm will soon
tell us if it's not fine, though.
