/** @file ieee754.h
 *
 * This implements floating-point conversion between half, single and
 * double precision floating-point numbers, in particular convesion to
 * smaller representation (e.g., double to single) that does not lose
 * precision for CBOR preferred serialization.
 *
 * This implementation works entirely with shifts and masks and does
 * not require any floating-point HW or library.
 *
 * This conforms to IEEE 754-2008, but note that it doesn't specify
 * conversions, just the encodings.
 *
 * This is complete, supporting +/- infinity, +/- zero, subnormals and
 * NaN payloads. NaN payloads are converted to smaller by dropping the
 * right most bits if they are zero and shifting to the right. If the
 * rightmost bits are not zero the conversion is not performed. When
 * converting from smaller to larger, the payload is shifted left and
 * zero-padded. This is what is specified by CBOR preferred
 * serialization and what modern HW conversion instructions do. CBOR
 * CDE handling for NaN is not clearly specified, but upcoming
 * documents may clarify this.
 *
 * There is no special handling of silent and quiet NaNs. It probably
 * isn't necessary to transmit these special NaNs as there purpose is
 * more for propgating errors up through some calculation. In many
 * cases the handlng of the NaN payload will work for silent and quiet
 * NaNs.
 *
 * A previous version of this was usable as a general library for
 * conversion. This version is reduced to what is needed for CBOR.
