Is there a way to load exact octal, hex or binary representations of IEEE 754 floats (as text) into a MySQL table using the correct single- or double-precision data type?
E.g. the number pi written as 1078530011 or 40490fdb (single-precision).

Preferably with LOAD DATA INFILE/mysqlimport, in the interests of speed...
