float.hex() is one bit short

[Skaperen]

well the whole point is moot. float.hex() produces sufficient output to represent the complete precision of a float value (same as a double in C) for the x86 architecture. i have not tested other architectures, yet. i counted only the digits to the right of the decimal point because i had been working with those in some code and my mind focused too tightly when checking that.

i should write some code that runs some float maths to discover that true precision (BTDT in C (and asm for x86, Sparc, and S/370) and found a gcc bug many years ago when doing that) instead of using the implementation architecture configuration.
