The precision of float resp. double values, as defined by IEEE 754, is not 
easily derivable from the constants in the java.lang.Float resp. 
java.lang.Double classes. These values (24 resp. 53) are used in some places in 
the OpenJDK code base, where they appear as literals or even as derived 
literals, like 23 and 52. Hence, usages of these values are harder to find than 
necessary.
