Comment:
I'm taking over since it's now my department. We have the `scaleFloat`
fix, I'm going to change the docs for `exponent` and
`encodeFloat/decodeFloat`, then the priority can be lowered. Before
changing the behaviour of `decodeFloat`, I'll ask on libraries what
behaviour is preferred with respect to `NaN`, `Infinity` and `-0.0`.
