- Move the functions presently described in in ieee(3) to their own
manpages. They are not very related, so separating them makes it easier to add meaningful cross-references and extend some of the descriptions. - Move the part of math(3) that discusses IEEE 754 to the ieee(3) manpage.

+return the remainder
+.Fa r
