Hi,

You pointed out many valid issues here. After taking a few steps back,
I wonder indeed if Gina's proposition [1] wouldn't be enough.
Also, as Rowan said, knowing what these functions should exactly do is
complex and I'm afraid we won't find a happy middle ground that suits
everyone and every situation. Based on this thread feedback and
suggestions, the use cases seem niche, for is_representable_as_float()
at least.

Best,
Alexandre Daubois
