PS Since this seems to come up a lot, I sometimes wish for some sort of an
alternate parse/render mode where every float uses even more bits, not
necessarily defined by what the local architecture/compiler/FPU is designed
around.  Imagine being able to set float bit length to 128, 256, 512!? in an
INI file. I know, I know, it'd be super slow, probably hard to implement and
I'm dreaming ;-)
