And `np.float16(repr(a)) == a` is guaranteed for `np.float16`(and the same
is true up to `float128`, which can be platform-dependent). Your code
doesn't work because you're deserializing to a higher precision format than
you serialized to.

Hi everyone,
I wondered how to express a numpy float exactly in terms of format, and
found `%r` quite useful: `float(repr(a)) == a` is guaranteed for Python
`float`s. When trying the same thing with lower-precision Python floats, I
found this identity not quite fulfilled:
```
import numpy
b = nump
