Silent underflow

2

The code signals an error on overflows, but should probably also signal one on underflows, i.e. when a Common Lisp float is too small to be represented in the desired...

Use compiler internals for extremely fast float->bits conversion

5

Some compilers like SBCL have some "intrinsics" to access the bits of a float directly. It might be useful. For example, `sb-kernel:double-float-{low, high}-bits`. These intrinsics might be useful for testing,...

On systems that support IEEE NaN and Infinity, it would be nice if ieee-floats could encode and decode such values.
