Seems like we need words to cover:
  Signaling NaNs -- do they trigger?
  Non-canonical representations
  Are there any representations that are not valid?  If so,
    what happens?


I prefer the name "dpdfromd32/64/128" to "encoded32/64/128"
I prefer the name "bidfromd32/64/128" to "encoded32/64/128"

I prefer the name "dpdtod32/64/128" to "decodedpdd32/64/128"
I prefer the name "bidtod32/64/128" to "decodebidd32/64/128"
