Good point.  The IEEE float and double formats are well known, though,
so shouldn't it be quite simple to convert a 32 bit IEEE float into 64
bit and vice versa?  Well, that's going a step too far for now, I guess,
but it spoils interoperability a bit.

Yes, I guess so, unless we have generic code to convert 32 bit to 64 bit
FP and vice versa.  Does anybody know?
