Float matching in Rust is not supported due to correctness concerns, but due to historical accidents and backwards compatibility.

OK? I don't see how that's connected? It's not controversial that f32 and f64 are partially ordered, the problem in C++ is that the difference between "Partially Ordered" and "Totally Ordered" is semantic not syntactic in their language and all semantic mistakes are just IFNDR so it's a footgun.
