Description
## 🚀 Feature
When testing for numerical correctness it would be a good feature to have the SampleInput to recognize if the given value from the practitioner are directly representable in half precision formats, and if not it should clip them to the closest value that satisfy the criteria.
This idea came up from the issue with half precision testing while feeding full precision scalar inputs that cannot be represented directly in fp16/bf16 #1791 and #703
