paper that argued for the inclusion of -0.0 in IEEE754 to serve a 
mathematical concept. It's a fault, not a feature.

There are indeed very few use cases. The most common one is dealing with water 
temperature. You can have water at 0 C and ice at 0 C, both states differ only 
by latent heat. It's one of the rare cases where you could 0 and -0 to 
distinguish between phases.
