* where e is integral and >= 0, m is real and in [0, 1), and "/" and
* "%" are integer division and modulus with rounding towards minus
* infinity. The RHS is always >= the LHS and has a maximum relative
* error of about 1 in 16. Adding a bias of -0.03306235651 to the
* (e%3+m)/3 term reduces the error to about 1 in 32. With the IEEE
* floating point representation, for finite positive normal values,
* ordinary integer division of the value in bits magically gives
* almost exactly the RHS of the above provided we first subtract the
* exponent bias (1023 for doubles) and later add it back. We do the
* subtraction virtually to keep e >= 0 so that ordinary integer
* division rounds towards minus infinity; this is also efficient.
