How about, floating point is allowed, but the results may sometimes be surprising?
If the surprise consists of breaking the invariant, I'm not convinced... Moreover, isn't your proposition actually similar to the current state? Technically, there are no limitations in the library to prevent you from defining bounded<float> ("floating point is allowed"). But the advice in the documentation ("don't use built-in floating point types with this library (until you really know what you're doing)") can be interpreted as "the results may sometimes be surprising".
Yes. I don't suggest changing anything.
I totally disagree. People have to deal with floats anyway. That is a seperate issue. The advic should be removed IMO, and bounded_float provided. -Thorsten
