non-negative argument

The library report doesn't seem to mention this, but giving floatToDigits a
negative number leads to nonsensical answers:
Prelude> Numeric.floatToDigits 10 (-3.1415)
([-32,5,8,5],0)
Now, this probably makes perfect sense, but shouldn't the doco mention the
fact that floatToDigits requires a non-negative number? It does for other
functions that require non-negative arguments.
