[issue3008] Let bin/oct/hex show floats

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com> added the comment:

Here's an updated Python version of toHex and fromHex; fixes a bug in the 
previous version of fromHex for hex floats starting with an upper case hex 
digit.  I'm not sure how useful this is, but I thought I might as well 
post the code.

I also have tests for these;  to follow.

I'd be happy to help out with the C version once the API is decided on;  I 
have far too much time on my hands right now.  Though I'm assuming Raymond 
will beat me to it.
