Motivation

Currently, FixedToFloat accepts an exponentWidth and mantissaWidth, but also then calculates infinity (for example) internally based on generic floating point rules. It would be better to use a FloatingPoint object, and it's FloatingPointValue type, to determine what "infinity" is represented as (or if it even supports infinity).

Desired solution

Modify/add a constructor and parameterize FixedToFloat so that it can properly handle special cases based on the type.
