I think just exposing them via .sig and .exp might be the

sig is easy to confuse with sign
.mantissa and .exp
.exp might potentially lead to confusion regarding std.math.exp
with UFCS in place. Not that this would be a huge deal, but
since new property would be used only very rarely anyway, I
don't think going for a longer name like .exponent or even
rawExponent/exponentBits/… would be a problem.

In my BigDecimal/BigFloat modules I use .coefficient and
.exponent externally but .mant and .expo internally. It would be
nice to be consistent -- I can adapt to whatever is best.
