/**
* Creates a double-precision floating-point number from a higher order word (unsigned 32-bit integer) and a lower order word (unsigned 32-bit integer).
*
* ## Notes
*
* ```text
* float64 (64 bits)
* f := fraction (significand/mantissa) (52 bits)
* e := exponent (11 bits)
* s := sign bit (1 bit)
*
* |-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --------|
* |                                Float64                                |
* |-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --------|
* |              Uint32               |               Uint32              |
* |-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --------|
* ```
*
* If little endian (more significant bits last):
*
* ```text
*                         <-- lower      higher -->
* |   f7       f6       f5       f4       f3       f2    e2 | f1 |s|  e1  |
* ```
*
* If big endian (more significant bits first):
*
* ```text
*                         <-- higher      lower -->
* |s| e1    e2 | f1     f2       f3       f4       f5        f6      f7   |
* ```
*
*
* In which Uint32 should we place the higher order bits? If little endian, the second; if big endian, the first.
