Functions for encoding and decoding IEEE-754 binary floats. Addresses issue #505 and #564. I figured I'd make the function names very explicit and verbose rather than easy to type since it's pretty easy to alias them to shorter names with user-defined functions, but I'm open to changing that.
(And no worries about letting it languish for a bit :)
