  	"Here is a vicious case where timesTwoPower is inexact because it underflows.
  	And two consecutive inexact operations lead to a different result than a single one.
  	Typically expressed as multiple of Float fmin in base 2,
  	2r1011*Float fmin shifted by -3 with round to nearest, tie to even mode:
  	-> round(1.011) -> 1.0 = fmin
  	But if first shifted by -2 then by -1:
  	-> round(10.11) -> 11.0 = 3*fmin
  	-> round(1.1) -> 10.0 = 2*fmin
  	Or first shifted by -1 then by -2:
  	-> round(101.1) -> 110.0 = 6*fmin
  	-> round(1.1) -> 10.0 = 2*fmin
  	A naive implementation that split the shift uncarefully might fail to handle such case correctly."
