ess than half the space of FLOAT encoding. In general, BINFLOAT cannot be used to transport infinities, NaNs, or minus zero, raises an exception if the exponent exceeds the range of an IEEE-754 double, and retains no more than 53 bits of precision (if there are more than that, "add a half and chop" rounding is used to cut it back to 53 significant bits).
