Well, I'd be making sure then, won't I? In this
case, the exponents are rather big anyway (like
around 30 or such). But again, haven't thought
of that, and you're right.
Docs say: non-integer results might differ
for platforms. So this just makes sure that doesn't
happen.

Well. I guess everyone reading this will wonder
how I actually managed to write the LSSM... :-)
