I am getting en.cppreference.com took too long to respond so I can't read the docs on this, but is bit_cast not from a pretty recent C++ version? Is it not too new?

bit_cast is from C++20 but we polyfill it with our own implementation: link. utilities.h is included in this file and bit_cast is already used in other places in this file.

From reading the code, most other arithmetic in Literal.cpp shouldn't invoke UB. There are some spec tests that are disabled due to float/nan behavior that I'll look at in future PRs.
