(j3.2006) IEEE_SET_FLAG

[Van Snyder]

There is a requirement that the routine IEEE_SET_FLAG behave in a 
peculiar way. The argument FLAG is an array of type(IEEE_FLAG_TYPE). 
 But the entries are required to be unique.

If they are not unique, then what should happen?  Does an error 
condition exist?  Should it be handled similarly to SQRT(-1.0)?  Is the 
result processor dependent?  Annex A.2 doesn't say so.  Can the elements 
in FLAG and FLAG_VALUE be processed in array-element order, ignoring 
duplicates?
