For this to be useful, it would require to choose a precision of not more than
P(bf) = floor(p×log10(2)); or floor(p×log10(2)) - 1, I'm not quite sure.
That would be P = {7, 15, 19, 34} or {6, 14, 18, 33}.
We then would have a loss of precision and no guarantee of round-trip
conversion to the same number.
