Unit Test Float Encode Exhaustively

[waylonflinn]

The floating point encode step is a tricky bit to get right. Issue #10 shows that numerical stability issues can make a big difference in some edge cases.

Encoding each unique floating point value as an element of a 4098 square matrix should require only a few hundred of these matrices. This should be doable in a reasonable amount of time.
