As usual, you are looking for cures of symptoms. Never spending a
second thinking about the whole thing.
If another function uses the real implementation in the __ieee754_*
function then just replacing the initial interface means you get
inconsistent results. What can be worse than that?
Face it, users have no right to replace any interface of the standard
library. There is no reason to add yet more baggage to make this
possible. If you have problems with the implementation of an interface,
send improvements. But just making things more cumbersome so that you
can do something which is not at all allowed isn't going to happen.
