Floating-point serialization is platform-specific but works on modern standard computers #356

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness#Floating_point

However, on modern standard computers (i.e., implementing IEEE 754), one may in practice safely assume that the endianness is the same for floating-point numbers as for integers, making the conversion straightforward regardless of data type

Filing this to document it, though no bugs were reported
