Float methods are fine.

Is everyone agreed on a tohex/fromhex pair using the C99 notation as recommended in 754R?

Dunno about everyone, but I'm +1 on that.

Are you thinking of math module functions or as a method and classmethod on floats? I'd prefer math modules functions. I'm halfway through implementing this as a pair of float methods. Are there compelling reasons to prefer math module functions over float methods, or vice versa? Personally, I'm leaning slightly towards float methods: for me, these conversions are important enough to belong in the core language. But I don't have strong feelings either way. Mark
