Hm, I think I should point out that at least flt16_trunc should be
implementable (and much faster than frexpf) as pure float operations
(at least +-1), too assuming you get the compiler to behave stupid:

While I think it has too many issues to recommend it, it _might_ even
be faster than the current code.
