 Floating point values are represented using 64-bit (double precision) IEEE754 format. If
 a given value cannot be exactly represented in this format (due to precision constraints),
-it is replaced with the nearest value that _can_ be represented by this format. When the
-value is too small to be represented, that nearest value will be zero. When the value is
-too large to be represented, it is replaced with `inf` or `-inf` (depending on the sign
-of the original value).
