The support of hexadecimal floating literals (like 0xC.68p+2) is
included in just released C++17 standard. Seems this becomes a mainstream.
In Python float.hex() returns hexadecimal string representation. Is it a
time to add more support of hexadecimal floating literals? Accept them
in float constructor and in Python parser? And maybe add support of
hexadecimal formatting ('%x' and '{:x}')?
