 * problems?  Unfortunately, they don't.  We've found that various compilers
 * (MSVC, MSVC when compiling with PGO, and GCC on OS X, at least) miscompile
 * the standard methods in various situations, so we can't use them.  Some of
 * these compilers even have problems compiling seemingly reasonable bitwise
 * algorithms!  But with some care we've found algorithms that seem to not
 * trigger those compiler bugs.
 *
 * For the aforementioned reasons, be very wary of making changes to any of
 * these algorithms.  If you must make changes, keep a careful eye out for
 * compiler bustage, particularly PGO-specific bustage.

 *  This struct contains details regarding the encoding of floating-point

 *
 *  The nested typedef |Bits| is the unsigned integral type with the same size
 *  as T: uint32_t for float and uint64_t for double (static assertions
 *  double-check these assumptions).
 *
 *  kExponentBias is the offset that is subtracted from the exponent when
 *  computing the value, i.e. one plus the opposite of the mininum possible
 *  exponent.
 *  kExponentShift is the shift that one needs to apply to retrieve the
 *  exponent component of the value.
 *
 *  kSignBit contains a bits mask. Bit-and-ing with this mask will result in
 *  obtaining the sign bit.
 *  kExponentBits contains the mask needed for obtaining the exponent bits and
 *  kSignificandBits contains the mask needed for obtaining the significand
 *  bits.
