[det]float_parts(+Float, -Mantissa, -Base, -Exponent)

True when Mantissa is the normalized fraction of Float, Base is the radix and Exponent is the exponent. This uses the C function frexp(). If Float is NaN or ±Inf Mantissa has the same value and Exponent is 0 (zero). In the current implementation Base is always 2. The following relation is always true:

Float =:= Mantissa × Base^Exponent
