    Signed zero can be fairly interesting wrt how we got there, so to
    speak... Think of:

    ..., -1, -.5, -0

    vs

    ..., +1, +.5, +0

    If we have a negative zero, we mush have got there from the negative
    side going up. A positive zero, from the positive side going down...?

    They are all equal to 0. think of it as meta data in a sense? Fair enough?
