<code>numericalio</code> cannot read or write binary non-numeric data.
</p>
<p>Some Lisp implementations do not recognize IEEE 754 special values
(positive and negative infinity, not-a-number values, denormalized values).
The effect of reading such values with <code>numericalio</code> is undefined.
</p>
<p><code>numericalio</code> includes functions to open a stream for reading or writing a stream of bytes.
