Bug description:  hex to float request

Description:
------------
Would simply like to input a hex value and get the float of it back.  The
settype of course does not work, or any kind of casting.  A function that
parses the binary string introduces a huge amount of overhead when I do
1024 of these values in a row.  I would think that any programming
language would have this basic capability.  I'm getting raw data, and a
data type that it needs to be converted to.

I checked and didn't see this requested, though I'm sure it has been.
