Examples:
 Encoding:
   crackNum -i4    -- -2                    -- encode as 4-bit signed integer
   crackNum -w4    2                        -- encode as 4-bit unsigned integer
   crackNum -f3+4  2.5                      -- encode as float with 3 bits exponent, 4 bits significand
   crackNum -f3+4  2.5 -rRTZ                -- encode as above, but use RTZ rounding mode.
   crackNum -fbp   2.5                      -- encode as a brain-precision float
   crackNum -fdp   2.5                      -- encode as a double-precision float
   crackNum -fe4m3 2.5                      -- encode as an E4M3 FP8 float
   crackNum -fe5m2 2.5                      -- encode as an E5M2 FP8 float
   crackNum -fsp   0x3.2p5                  -- encode as single-precision from hex-float

 Decoding:
   crackNum -i4      0b0110                -- decode as 4-bit signed integer, from binary
   crackNum -w4      0xE                   -- decode as 4-bit unsigned integer, from hex
   crackNum -f3+4    0b0111001             -- decode as float with 3 bits exponent, 4 bits significand
   crackNum -fbp     0x000F                -- decode as a brain-precision float
   crackNum -fdp     0x8000000000000000    -- decode as a double-precision float
   crackNum -fhp     0x8000                -- decode as a half-precision float
   crackNum -l4 -fhp 64\'hbdffaaffdc71fc60 -- decode as half-precision float over 4 lanes using verilog notation

 Notes:
   - For encoding:
       - Use -- to separate your argument if it's a negative number.
       - For floats: You can pass in NaN, Inf, -0, -Inf etc as the argument
                     along with a decimal (2.3, -4.1e5) or hexadecimal float (0x2.4p3)
   - For decoding:
       - Use hexadecimal (0x) binary (0b), or N'h (verilog) notation as input.
         Input must have one of these prefixes.
       - You can use _,- or space as a digit to improve readability for the pattern to be decoded
       - With -lN parameter, you can decode multiple lanes of data.
       - If you use verilog input format, then we will infer the number of lanes unless you provide it.
