//      half -- a 16-bit floating point number class:
//
//      Type half can represent positive and negative numbers whose
//      magnitude is between roughly 6.1e-5 and 6.5e+4 with a relative
//      error of 9.8e-4; numbers smaller than 6.1e-5 can be represented
//      with an absolute error of 6.0e-8.  All integers from -2048 to
//      +2048 can be represented exactly.
//
//      Type half behaves (almost) like the built-in C++ floating point
//      types.  In arithmetic expressions, half, float and double can be
//      mixed freely.  Here are a few examples:
//
//          half a (3.5);
//          float b (a + sqrt (a));
//          a += b;
//          b += a;
//          b = a + 7;
//
//      Conversions from half to float are lossless; all half numbers
//      are exactly representable as floats.
//
//      Conversions from float to half may not preserve a float's value
//      exactly.  If a float is not representable as a half, then the
//      float value is rounded to the nearest representable half.  If a
//      float value is exactly in the middle between the two closest
//      representable half values, then the float value is rounded to
//      the closest half whose least significant bit is zero.
//
//      Overflows during float-to-half conversions cause arithmetic
//      exceptions.  An overflow occurs when the float value to be
//      converted is too large to be represented as a half, or if the
//      float value is an infinity or a NAN.
//
//      The implementation of type half makes the following assumptions
//      about the implementation of the built-in C++ types:
//
//          float is an IEEE 754 single-precision number
//          sizeof (float) == 4
//          sizeof (unsigned int) == sizeof (float)
//          alignof (unsigned int) == alignof (float)
//          sizeof (unsigned short) == 2

// Implementation --
//
// Representation of a float:
//
//      We assume that a float, f, is an IEEE 754 single-precision
//      floating point number, whose bits are arranged as follows:
//
//          31 (msb)
//          |
//          | 30     23
//          | |      |
//          | |      | 22                    0 (lsb)
//          | |      | |                     |
//          X XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
//
//          s e        m
//
//      S is the sign-bit, e is the exponent and m is the significand.
//
//      If e is between 1 and 254, f is a normalized number:
//
//                  s    e-127
//          f = (-1)  * 2      * 1.m
//
//      If e is 0, and m is not zero, f is a denormalized number:
//
//                  s    -126
//          f = (-1)  * 2      * 0.m
//
//      If e and m are both zero, f is zero:
//
//          f = 0.0
//
//      If e is 255, f is an "infinity" or "not a number" (NAN),
//      depending on whether m is zero or not.
//
//      Examples:
//
//          0 00000000 00000000000000000000000 = 0.0
//          0 01111110 00000000000000000000000 = 0.5

//          1 11111111 00000000000000000000000 = -infinity
//          0 11111111 10000000000000000000000 = NAN
//          1 11111111 11111111111111111111111 = NAN
//
// Representation of a half:
//
//      Here is the bit-layout for a half number, h:
//
//          15 (msb)
//          |
//          | 14  10
//          | |   |
//          | |   | 9        0 (lsb)
//          | |   | |        |
//          X XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
//
//          s e     m
//
//      S is the sign-bit, e is the exponent and m is the significand.
//
//      If e is between 1 and 30, h is a normalized number:
//
//                  s    e-15
//          h = (-1)  * 2     * 1.m
//
//      If e is 0, and m is not zero, h is a denormalized number:
//
//                  S    -14
//          h = (-1)  * 2     * 0.m
//
//      If e and m are both zero, h is zero:
//
//          h = 0.0
//
//      If e is 31, h is an "infinity" or "not a number" (NAN),
//      depending on whether m is zero or not.
//
//      Examples:
//
//          0 00000 0000000000 = 0.0
//          0 01110 0000000000 = 0.5

//          1 11111 1111111111 = NAN
//
// Conversion:
//
//      Converting from a float to a half requires some non-trivial bit
//      manipulations.  In some cases, this makes conversion relatively
//      slow, but the most common case is accelerated via table lookups.
//
//      Converting back from a half to a float is easier because we don't
//      have to do any rounding.  In addition, there are only 65536
//      different half numbers; we can convert each of those numbers once
//      and store the results in a table.  Later, all conversions can be
//      done using only simple table lookups.
