Thinking ahead a bit:  at some point we might well also want functions to pack 
and unpack these IEEE formats into byte sequences, using the bit 
representations described in the standard.

A natural place for those functions would be as methods on a Context object;  
perhaps IEEEContext should be a subclass of Context?  (OTOH, the struct module 
is another possible place for such functionality.)

I'll think about this.
