I meant that the function's return value is always representable, i.e.,
doesn't overflow, underflow, or produce NaNs.

I'm not trying to be mathematically pedantic here.  I'm just suggesting
that the patch subject should reflect the change, so that someone
searching for it has something relevent to look for.  Even something as
trivial as "Cube roots: clarify return values" would be better.
