According to the reference, FLT_ROUNDS is not a constant in C.

FLT_ROUNDS
Returns the current rounding direction of floating-point arithmetic operations.
Notes
The rounding mode can be changed with fesetround and FLT_ROUNDS reflects that change.

So it should not be a constant in Ruby too. Or it should be removed altogether.

Agree to remove.
Deprecate it for now?

[matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)]

That would be nice.
