There's one other major difference between the C99 notation and the
current patch: the C99 notation includes a (hexa)decimal point. The
advantages of this include:
- the exponent gives a rough idea of the magnitude of the number, and
- the exponent doesn't vary with changes to the least significant bits
of the float.
Is everyone agreed on a tohex/fromhex pair using the C99 notation as
recommended in 754R?
Are you thinking of math module functions or as a method and classmethod on
floats?
