AFAICS, the spec says that implementation-defined rounding or truncation
occurs if least significant digits would be lost. It appears to only be
an error if most significant digits would be lost.
For example:
If an assignment would result in a loss of the most significant digits,
an exception condition is raised. If least significant digits are lost,
implementation-defined rounding or truncating occurs with no exception
condition being raised.
