        Johan R&#229;de wrote the optimised floating-point classification and manipulation
        code, and nonfinite facets to permit C99 output of infinities and NaNs. (nonfinite
        facets were not added until Boost 1.47 but had been in use with Boost.Spirit).
        This library was based on a suggestion from Robert Ramey, author of Boost.Serialization.
