/*
=========================================================================
Reduced RGBE representation of normalised coefficients. Per default, this
consists of three signed 5-bit mantissas for each RGB colour channel and
a common 5-bit exponent (= 20 bits). This allocation can be modified
within a 32-bit envelope if more precision is required.
The floating point RGB contributions are assumed to lie in the range
[-1, 1], with values in the interval [-RGBE_CONTRIB_MIN,
RGBE_CONTRIB_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.
