* An apparent bug in VS 2013's implementation of the `exp2` function is worked
  around in one of flt2dec's tests.

Turns out this was the only fix necessary!

// The bug seems to be a difference in return value of `exp2(-1057)`, where
// in VS 2013 it returns a double with the bit pattern 0x2 and in VS 2015 it
// returns 0x20000.
//
// For now just ignore this test entirely on MSVC as it's tested elsewhere
// anyway and we're not super interested in testing each platform's exp2
// implementation.
