It would be nice if the current function, without performance penalty, were ultimately renamed to unsafeDecodeFloat. A new function could return something like data DecodedFloat = Decoded Integer Int | NaN | Infinity | NegativeInfinity | NegativeZero (I'm not sure which constructors you'd want exactly). Thanks Ian
