Comment(by jason):
The mantissa and exponent for MPFR is not the same as the mantissa and
exponent for IEEE 754. So I'm a little doubtful about the choice to
follow IEEE 754 conventions for the exponent value of 0. (but I'm not
doubtful enough to change it). I just thought I'd point out that the
values from MPFR are different than the conventions from IEEE 754 for the
same floating point number.
