A token that contains a 64-bit signed mantissa, signed exponent double precision floating-point number (IEEE 754). This class handles overflow and underflow as does normal java arithmetic on doubles.
Note that a double cannot be losslessly converted to a long, and vice versa, as both have 64-bit representations in Java.
