 9.40.5 Floating Point
 ---------------------
 
 The assembler recognizes both the IEEE floating-point instruction and
 the hexadecimal floating-point instructions.  The floating-point
 constructors '.float', '.single', and '.double' always emit the IEEE
 format.  To assemble hexadecimal floating-point constants the '.long'
 and '.quad' directives must be used.
