I support this proposal. It would be very useful for representing floating-points related to testing floating point arithmetic implementations and other places needing bitwise exactness. Our Coreblocks project would directly benefit from it, instead of relying on custom representation: https://github.com/kuznia-rdzeni/coreblocks/blob/5a9d8f5165c0da5dbc9315b21c19704f9eba228e/test/func_blocks/fu/fpu/fpu_test_common.py#L66 |

Add hexadecimal floating-point literals (IEEE 754-2008 §5.12.3) and support construction of floats from hexadecimal strings.
