I look another pass over the methods in Float, Double, and Math for opportunities to link to IEEE 754 operations. At least for now, I choose not to link to abs since IEEE 754 abs can have different behavior for NaN values that java.lang.Math.abs. If a link is made, this difference would need to be noted.
