Cool! Now, I'd add some notes on the practical implications of this... what
about you moving the two previously mentioned pages under this new one
(sorry i'm not confident moving pages in the wiki... i've messed things up
before) and me adding the context?
(Also, someone could make this "an XXX bits float can store a YYY bits
integer" a bit more clear as I personally still don't really understand it.
I also remember vaguely some criticism of this system, that it is not very
efficient? Matju? If you guys explain it here on the list I'll be happy to
add it to the wiki.)
