[issue37787] Minimum denormal or ** bug

Only half serious ;)

I'd settle for "reliable, consistent and easy to explain rounding", which is unfortunately not what IEEE 754 provides (unless you assume significant amounts of CS background that most Python users do not have). But then, nothing else really provides it either, so it's more of a dream than a plan :)
