Discussion around what to do with:
   (hpd) print 1.0 -format x
vis:
   0x3f800000  -> dump the raw data
  1                  -> cast to int and print that
  0x1.0            -> print as floating-point but in base 16; see 
fprintf(3)'s %a
consensus was the last option, which also allowed things like:
  (fhpd) print 1.5 -format t
  1.1
i.e., print the floating-point value as binary (but still interpreted as 
floating-point).
