Where in the packfile does it define the native endinaness of floats?
(Note "native endianess" has to include wheather the sign is the MSB or
the LSB, and the endianness of the e

FP constants in the bytecode file constants section will be 64-bit IEEE floats.
The Q&A as to why. (This'll be a new feature for all the declarations of
arbitrary decisions)
