Actually, no; the context of the keywords is supposed to be a one-line
“table” already containing such abbreviated English words as MT-Safe and
AC-Unsafe. It's not running text in any way you look at it.

You mean distinguishing between a function setting the fenv and not
restoring it upon return, from its not setting up a cleanup handler to
restore it upon cancellation? Well, I guess if we're going for
sacrificing precision for brevity we could just go for
floating-point-environment. Or fenv. Or something even less
descriptive of the issue...
