// A nonzero finite Float represents a multi-precision floating point number
//
//   sign × mantissa × 2**exponent
//
// with 0.5 <= mantissa < 1.0, and MinExp <= exponent <= MaxExp.
// A Float may also be zero (+0, -0) or infinite (+Inf, -Inf).
// All Floats are ordered, and the ordering of two Floats x and y
// is defined by x.Cmp(y).
//
// Each Float value also has a precision, rounding mode, and accuracy.
// The precision is the maximum number of mantissa bits available to
// represent the value. The rounding mode specifies how a result should
// be rounded to fit into the mantissa bits, and accuracy describes the
// rounding error with respect to the exact result.
//
// Unless specified otherwise, all operations (including setters) that
// specify a *Float variable for the result (usually via the receiver
// with the exception of MantExp), round the numeric result according
// to the precision and rounding mode of the result variable.
//
// If the provided result precision is 0 (see below), it is set to the
// precision of the argument with the largest precision value before any
// rounding takes place, and the rounding mode remains unchanged. Thus,
// uninitialized Floats provided as result arguments will have their
// precision set to a reasonable value determined by the operands, and
// their mode is the zero value for RoundingMode (ToNearestEven).
//
// By setting the desired precision to 24 or 53 and using matching rounding
// mode (typically ToNearestEven), Float operations produce the same results
// as the corresponding float32 or float64 IEEE-754 arithmetic for operands
// that correspond to normal (i.e., not denormal) float32 or float64 numbers.
// Exponent underflow and overflow lead to a 0 or an Infinity for different
// values than IEEE-754 because Float exponents have a much larger range.
//
// The zero (uninitialized) value for a Float is ready to use and represents
// the number +0.0 exactly, with precision 0 and rounding mode ToNearestEven.
//
// Operations always take pointer arguments (*Float) rather
// than Float values, and each unique Float value requires
// its own unique *Float pointer. To "copy" a Float value,
// an existing (or newly allocated) Float must be set to
// a new value using the Float.Set method; shallow copies
// of Floats are not supported and may lead to errors.
