Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked constants.patch and the Windows build context for Python 3.6. Compare it with linked PR gh-154849, then verify that the project compiles successfully with MSVC's /fp:strict option; the existing patch and pull request indicate that work may already have moved elsewhere.
