The only thing I'm worried about is the situation where we have "x = N.M", and `x.ceiling` equals maybe "(N+2).0" instead of "(N+1).0" because we ran out of precision and can't represent (N+1).0. I'm not sure what the exact values are where floats (or doubles) stop having enough precision to represent inter-integer values... It might be a moot point.

I'd suggest the functions' descriptions to be changed from "[largest|smallest] integral value" to "[largest|smallest] representable integral value".
