Description
It was decided in #440 to hyphenate consistently as "floating-point".
#1319 fixed this at the time, but since then, new uses of "floating point" slipped back into the standard.
#8122 removes 3/4 of the four occurrences of "floating point".
After #8122, the only remaining use is https://github.com/cplusplus/draft/blob/4e6d501c8cf6735b67005124e3eac23907d7222e/source/back.tex#L10-L13
We obviously cannot fix that one because it's the actual title of the document, but everywhere else, we should be able to run a source check so we can stop playing Whac-A-Mole with wrong hyphenation.

Research direction
Inspect the existing source checks and the remaining occurrence in source/back.tex at lines 10–13. Add a check for unhyphenated “floating point” while exempting the document title there; done means other occurrences are detected without flagging that title.
