/// The following cases are supported for streaming a Double32_t type
/// depending on the range declaration in the comment field of the data member:
///
/// Case | Declaration
/// -----|------------
///  A   | Double32_t     fNormal;
///  B   | Double32_t     fTemperature; //[0,100]
///  C   | Double32_t     fCharge;      //[-1,1,2]
///  D   | Double32_t     fVertex[3];   //[-30,30,10]
///  E   | Double32_t     fChi2;        //[0,0,6]
///  F   | Int_t          fNsp;<br>Double32_t*    fPointValue;   //[fNsp][0,3]
///
///   * Case A fNormal is converted from a Double_t to a Float_t
///   * Case B fTemperature is converted to a 32 bit unsigned integer
///   * Case C fCharge is converted to a 2 bits unsigned integer
///   * Case D the array elements of fVertex are converted to an unsigned 10 bits integer
///   * Case E fChi2 is converted to a Float_t with truncated precision at 6 bits
///   * Case F the fNsp elements of array fPointvalue are converted to an unsigned 32 bit integer. Note that the range specifier must follow the dimension specifier.
///
/// Case B has more precision than case A: 9 to 10 significative digits and 6 to 7 digits respectively.
/// The range specifier has the general format: [xmin,xmax] or [xmin,xmax,nbits]. Examples
///   * [0,1]
///   * [-10,100];
///   * [-pi,pi], [-pi/2,pi/4],[-2pi,2*pi]
///   * [-10,100,16]
///   * [0,0,8]
/// Note that:
///   * If nbits is not specified, or nbits <2 or nbits>32 it is set to 32
///   * If (xmin==0 and xmax==0 and nbits <=14) the double word will be converted to a float and its mantissa truncated to nbits significative bits.
///
/// ## IMPORTANT NOTE
/// Lets assume an original variable double x.
/// When using the format [0,0,8] (i.e. range not specified) you get the best
/// relative precision when storing and reading back the truncated x, say xt.
/// The variance of (x-xt)/x will be better than when specifying a range
/// for the same number of bits. However the precision relative to the
/// range (x-xt)/(xmax-xmin) will be worse, and vice-versa.
/// The format [0,0,8] is also interesting when the range of x is infinite
/// or unknown.
