Try to clarify the semantics of fptrunc
* ``the value cannot fit within the destination type`` is ambiguous.
It could mean overflow, underflow (not in the IEEE-754 sense) or a
result that cannot be exactly represented and requires rounding or it
could mean some combination of these. The semantics now state it means
overflow **only**.
* Using "truncation" in the semantics is very misleading given that it
doesn't necessarily truncate (i.e. round to zero). For example on
x86_64 with SSE2 this is currently mapped to cvtsd2ss instruction
who's rounding behaviour is dependent on the MXCSR register which
is usually set to round to nearest even by default. The semantics
now state that the rounding mode is undefined.
