 * ways to split the intervals into two groups are considered, trying to
 * minimize the overlap of the groups. Then the same is repeated for the
 * Y-axis, and the overall best split is chosen. The quality of a split is

	 *
	 * Infinity has all bits in the exponent set and the mantissa is all
	 * zeros. Negative infinity is the same but with the sign bit set.
	 *
	 * NaNs are represented with all bits in the exponent set, and the least
	 * significant bit in the mantissa also set. The rest of the mantissa bits
	 * can be used to distinguish different kinds of NaNs.
	 *
	 * The IEEE format has the nice property that when you take the bit
	 * representation and interpret it as an integer, the order is preserved,
	 * except for the sign. That holds for the +-Infinity values too.
	 *
	 * Mapping to uint32
	 * -----------------
	 *
	 * In order to have a smooth transition from negative to positive numbers,
	 * we map floats to unsigned integers like this:
	 *
	 * x < 0 to range 0-7FFFFFFF
	 * x = 0 to value 8000000 (both positive and negative zero)
	 * x > 0 to range 8000001-FFFFFFFF
	 *
	 * We don't care to distinguish different kind of NaNs, so they are all
	 * mapped to the same arbitrary value, FFFFFFFF. Because of the IEEE bit
	 * representation of NaNs, there aren't any non-NaN values that would be
	 * mapped to FFFFFFFF. In fact, there is a range of unused values on both
	 * ends of the uint32 space.
