But this isn't a POSIX thing, it's an IEC 60559 thing, right?
So I don't see why the stricter modules would have the "-posix"
suffix.  The name should be something like "ceil-ieee-fp", no?

Anyway, I suspect the stricter modules would be overkill, no matter
what the name, and that nobody would use them.  So I suggest
simply dropping the stricter requirements for now.  If some package
actually needs these requirements, we can revisit the issue later.
