 * On std::errc::result_out_of_range we return ±0 for small values (e.g. 1.0e-99999) or ±HUGE_VAL for large values (e.g. 1.0e+99999) to match the handling of `std::strtod`.
 This is a divergence from the standard which states we should return the `value` argument unmodified.
 * These functions have been tested to support all built-in floating-point types and those from C++23's `<stdfloat>`
