+// This file implements a fairly generic conversion from a narrower to a wider
+// IEEE-754 floating-point type.  The next 10 lines parametrize which types
+// are to be used as the source and destination, the actual name used for
+// the conversion, and a suitable CLZ function for the source representation
+// type.
+//
+// This routine can be trivially adapted to support conversions from 
+// half-precision or to quad-precision. It does not support types that don't
+// use the usual IEEE-754 interchange formats; specifically, some work would be
+// needed to adapt it to (for example) the Intel 80-bit format or PowerPC
+// double-double format.
+//
+// Note please, however, that this implementation is only intended to support
+// *widening* operations; if you need to convert to a *narrower* floating-point
+// type (e.g. double -> float), then this routine will not do what you want it
+// to.
+//
+// It also requires that integer types at least as large as both formats
+// are available on the target platform; this may pose a problem when trying
+// to add support for quad on some 32-bit systems, for example.  You also may
+// run into trouble finding an appropriate CLZ function for wide source types;
+// you will likely need to roll your own on some platforms.
+//
+// Finally, the following assumptions are made:
+//
+// 1. floating-point types and integer types have the same endianness on the
+//    target platform
+//
+// 2. quiet NaNs, if supported, are indicated by the leading bit of the
+//    significand field being set
