;;; Commentary:

;; Floating point numbers are represented by dot-pairs (mant . exp)
;; where mant is the 24-bit signed integral mantissa and exp is the
;; base 2 exponent.
;;
;; Emacs LISP supports a 24-bit signed integer data type, which has a
;; range of -(2**23) to +(2**23)-1, or -8388608 to 8388607 decimal.
;; This gives six significant decimal digit accuracy.  Exponents can
;; be anything in the range -(2**23) to +(2**23)-1.
;;
;; User interface:
;; function f converts from integer to floating point
;; function string-to-float converts from string to floating point
;; function fint converts a floating point to integer (with truncation)
;; function float-to-string converts from floating point to string
;;
;; Caveats:
;; -  Exponents outside of the range of +/-100 or so will cause certain
;;    functions (especially conversion routines) to take forever.
;; -  Very little checking is done for fixed point overflow/underflow.
;; -  No checking is done for over/underflow of the exponent
;;    (hardly necessary when exponent can be 2**23).
