single-float-to-shorts

Arguments: single-float

Returns two values, each 16-bit unsigned numbers that represent the highest 16 bits of the single-float followed by the lowest 16 bits of the single-float. No consing is done, except on the sparc, where the pseudo-resourced multiple-values-vector might be consed the first time after a scavenge. Each succeeding call will reuse the values vector normally.
