To which I add:

+ numbers that correspond to the finite values of binary 64-bit IEEE
+ 754:2008 floating point numbers.

We'll need a non-normative reference, too:

    IEEE Computer Society (August 29, 2008). IEEE Standard for
    Floating-Point Arithmetic. IEEE.  doi:10.1109/IEEESTD.2008.4610935.
    ISBN 978-0-7381-5753-5. IEEE Std 754-2008.
