## Detailed Description

Half-precision (16-bit) floating-point type.

This type should be compatible with opengl, openexr, and IEEE 754r. The range is [-65504.0, 65504.0] and the precision is about 1 part in 2000 (3.3 decimal places).

From OpenGL spec 2.1.2:

A 16-bit floating-point number has a 1-bit sign (S), a 5-bit exponent (E), and a 10-bit mantissa (M). The value of a 16-bit floating-point number is determined by the following:

         (-1)^S * 0.0,                        if E == 0 and M == 0,
         (-1)^S * 2^-14 * (M/2^10),           if E == 0 and M != 0,
         (-1)^S * 2^(E-15) * (1 + M/2^10),    if 0 < E < 31,
         (-1)^S * INF,                        if E == 31 and M == 0, or
         NaN,                                 if E == 31 and M != 0
