For instance, some architectures provide a "fused multiply and add" (FMA) instruction
that computes <code>x*y + z</code> without rounding the intermediate result <code>x*y</code>.
These examples show when a Go implementation can use that instruction:

<pre>
// FMA allowed for computing r, because x*y is not explicitly rounded:
r  = x*y + z
