Description

Apparently, binary represents a Double as a tuple of (Integer, Int)? This means that doubles suffer a x3 or more size explosion, when really you could just record an IEEE floating point with the proper endian. This would also fix #64

Backwards compatibility might be a concern for fixing this, however.
