/*
=========================================================================
mRGBE (miniRGBE): reduced RGBE encoding of normalised RGB floats plus
associated integer payload data. By default, this encoding consists of:
- three signed 5-bit mantissas for each RGB colour channel,
- a common 5-bit exponent,
- and an associated 12-bit integer datum.
However, this allocation can be modified within a 32-bit envelope if more
precision is required by modifying mRGBE_MANTBITS, mRGBE_EXPBITS and
mRGBE_DATABITS.
The encoded float RGB tuples are assumed to lie in the range [-1, 1],
with values in the interval [-mRGBE_MIN, mRGBE_MIN] clamped to 0, since
these cannot be resolved. The encoded values are therefore normalised
against a given normalisation factor (e.g. absolute maximum) in order to
maximise the useful range.
