- BigFloatingPoint.toString should use BigDecimal.toString. In Java 1.4.2,
BigDecimal cannot print scientific notation. Currently, uses Float.toString and
Double.toString which may print incorrect values for bigger values.
- Use BigDecimal divide(BigDecimal, MathContext) to prevent loss of precision.
- FloatingPoint854Format packing should learn to do IEEE 854 BigDecimal -->
byte[] conversion.
