That said, and given Float has "equivalenceRelation" and 
"decimalToBinaryConversion" anchors, do we need similar anchors here that 
redirects to the Double ones?

Suggestion:

    private Float16(short bits) {

Should we move this NPE clause to the class specification, i.e. `Unless 
otherwise specified, all methods in this class throw {@code 
NullPointerException} when passed a {@code null}`? I think this applies to the 
APIs taking `BigDecimal` and static methods taking `Float16`. (Note we need to 
explicitly exclude `equals`)

I assume we will optimize these min/max implementations in the future. 
Otherwise, the extra space should be removed.
