It's in neither place for me.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, but this is not what I wanted.

It's not DBL_EPSILON that I care about (I simplified my question).  I wanted
a file that I could look at and know any of the constants that are of
interest to me.  It's not one constant I wanted to know, but all of them, in
one place.
