For the record, I might not get to it but it is my intention to update
my __no_long_double removal patchset this weekend, adding appropriate
hidden annotations and addressing any other review comments that are
still outstanding.

I did write some tests to expose existing issues with missing hidden
annotations; the problem was they exposed a _lot_ of missing hidden
annotations, and fixing them all, well, that rabbit hole bottomed out
at Adhemerval's thread cancellation patches!
