NB: Functions with prototypes containing underscores in type names may be available only with certain extended compilers.
This function provides a type cast from ordinary scalar floating-point arithmetic to pair-precision arithmetic.
If y is zero, pset(3CW) ensures that the zero value stored has the same sign as that of x; this action is necessary to ensure proper handling of signed zeros in other pair-precision arithmetic functions.
Use this function when the magnitude of the low part is known to be smaller than that of the high part by at least a factor of the machine epsilon, or if both parts are zero, or if the low part is zero. Otherwise, use psum2(3CW) for the initialization.
