My question is whether the comparison operators are pure; it seems clear 
that all of the arithmetic and trancendental operations depend on the 
rounding mode.  And, I guess the comparison operators are pure; the values 
have already been computed (at whatever rounding mode), and the comparison 
can't change that.
