Hexfloat literals, part of perl #122219
Punt to strtod/strtold, just like with decimal floats.
The hexfloat support is C99 feature, like its converse %a/%A.

Hexfloat sprintf %a/%A, part of perl #122219.
Just punt the task to system printf, do whatever it does
for %a/%A (%[efgEFG] are handled likewise).
Let me count the ways this can go wrong:
(1) long doubles
(2) no %a (it's C99)
(2) different implementations of %a
(3) broken implementations of %a
(5) IEEE 754 does not define endianness (big, little, mixed (some arms))
(6) non-IEEE-754 formats (vax, cray, ibm, ...)
