{{alias}}( bstr )
    Creates a half-precision floating-point number from an IEEE 754 literal
    bit representation.

    Parameters
    ----------
    bstr: string
        Literal bit representation.

    Returns
    -------
    out: float
        Half-precision floating-point number.

    Examples
    --------
    > var bstr = '0100010000000000';
    > var val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    4.0
    > bstr = '0100001001001000';
    > val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    ~3.140625
    > bstr = '1110001111010000';
    > val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    -1000.0

    // The function handles subnormals:
    > bstr = '0000000000000001';
    > val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    ~5.96e-8
    > bstr = '1000000000000001';
    > val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    ~-5.96e-8

    // The function handles special values:
    > bstr = '0000000000000000';
    > val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    0.0
    > bstr = '1000000000000000';
    > val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    -0.0
    > bstr = '0111110000000001';
    > val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    NaN
    > bstr = '0111110000000000';
    > val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    Infinity
    > bstr = '1111110000000000';
    > val = {{alias}}( bstr )
    -Infinity
