**Floating-point constants**
Floating-point constants use standard decimal notation (e.g.
- 123.421), exponential notation (e.g. 1.23421e+2), or a more precise
- hexadecimal notation (see below). The assembler requires the exact
- decimal value of a floating-point constant. For example, the

There is work ongoing to add decimal FP types, which means we really do want
decimal notation to be available for those constants.
I'm worried that `ppc_fp128` may not work well with C99 hex float format, given
that the size of the mantissa isn't fixed (if you represent it as a single `(-1
^ sign) * mantissa * (base ^ exponent)` format), so that probably should prefer
to use the existing hexadecimal notation. For the other binary floating-point
types, I'd much rather see the hex float notation than the current hexadecimal
notation.
