    these types.

    The \c qfloat16 class provides support for half-precision (16-bit) floating
    point data.  It is fully compliant with IEEE 754 as a storage type.  This
    implies that any arithmetic operation on a \c qfloat16 instance results in
    the value first being converted to a \c float.  This conversion to and from
    \c float is performed by hardware when possible, but on processors that do
    not natively support half-precision, the conversion is performed through a
    sequence of lookup table operations.
 
    \c qfloat16 should be treated as if it were a POD (plain old data) type.
    Consequently, none of the supported operations need any elaboration beyond
    stating that it supports all arithmetic operators incident to floating point
    types.
 
    \note On x86 and x86-64 that to get hardware accelerated conversions you must
    compile with F16C or AVX2 enabled, or use qFloatToFloat16() and qFloatFromFloat16()
    which will detect F16C at runtime.
