Hmm. There is a static import of selected individual constants from the companion Float16Consts helper class, which is analagous to {Float, Double}Consts package access helper classes in java.lang.

There are several other constant from that helper class that are _not_ static imported.

I'll be this PR as is and we can consider regularizing how constant access is phrased in a future refactoring. Thanks.
