It looks like the ability of doing basic arithmetic and sitting in
front of a computer screen exclude each other for me :-(. This should
be i==7 --> d(i)==2^-31, with an interval of [2^-8, 2^-7) and an
extent of 1/256. This is slightly annoying... maybe the patch could be
spun further and amended later on.
