one of my calculated values is `-0.166667`, which has bit-pattern of 0xBE2AAAB7.

now, let's say i want to use this number in my code:

        float v = -0.166667f;
        writefln("%f 0x%08X", v, *cast(uint*)&v);

oooops. "-0.166667 0xBE2AAAC1". it's not the same! (and yes, it matters).

Try -0.16666685f.
