RE: fma functions

OK:  I will leave them broken and note that they are broken in the
to-be-added documentation.
 
I will put in a should-work-most-of-the-time fix for fmaf().  That is, 
for the float version forcing evaluation in double will likely make it
work on most platforms--those in which double is enough longer than
float
to make it work:
 
-return (x * y) + z;
+return (float)(((double) x * (double) y) + (double) z);
 
Unfortunately, since long double is not presently used at all, I won't
at this time apply the same "trick" to fma().  (It will be easy to do
later when long double is added.)  The bad part is that it will not help
on all platforms.
