Oh, and another thought: suppose someone wants to use od on bfloat16_t
values? They're popular in machine learning applications, and likely
will be more popular than float16_t overall. See:

True. I suppose we would select between these like:
-t f2, -t fh = IEEE half precision
-t fb = brain floating point
bfloat16 looks like a truncated single precision IEEE,
so we should be able to just pad the extra 16 bits with zeros
when converting to single precision internally for processing.
cheers,
