Re-opening for further discussion.

-1 on Nick's suggestion to normalize hex output so that nearby floats 
have nearby reprs.  This unnecessarily complicates a simple, straight-
forward presentation.  In the paper referenced by Terry Reedy, 
normalized presentations were not used and I've never seen that done 
anywhere else.

IMO, the patch is fine as-is.
