I've never used these methods either, but they are part of the ANSI
Standard. I think that having an accurate coverage of the standard is
central to Pharo, even if this is not used from within Pharo itself.

Ask Google. There is a draft of revision 1.9 online. I don't know if
there are newer versions. Probably not.

#asFloatD/E/Q is the same as #asFloat. This is only meaningful for
Smalltalk that support floats of different sizes.
