If you mean, you think it was a conscious decision on my part: yes, you're right. That's how I intended it to be used.
The worry I have is with compound expressions. It looks nice for a single function call, but compare these two lines: w = x/y*z; w = x*y/z; With a signalling NaN, their exceptional behaviour is drastically different. This is another example of the advantage of the split types: If x, y, and z are nothrow_xints, the type of w is what decides whether the statement will throw. Alternatively, if x, y, and z are finite_xints, both statements will throw and never touch w.
