Yes, fprod would be nice [though if you just want to avoid over/underflows, much easier solution is to first determine the sign, then sum the logarithms of absolute values, and exponentiate that]. But I agree with Tim that it should be a separate function. For the same reason that sum is not fsum. (The reason prod is in math is bureaucratic, not ontologic.)
