Currently Float16Vector.toString prints raw short values from the backing
storage, i.e. the IEEE 754 binary16 bit encodings. Patch uses Float16.toString
routine to print the lane values in more user-friendly human-readable
floating-point format.
In addition, the various bit representations of NaN are canonicalized so that
such lanes are simply printed as "NaN". Float16.toString API renders each lane
as a human-readable floating-point value and prints canonical text ("NaN",
"Infinity", "-0.0")
Kindly review and share your feedback.
