<p>
This is an implementation of the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nextafter</span></code>
function included in the C99 standard. (It is also effectively an implementation
of the C99 'nexttoward' legacy function which differs only having a long
double direction, and can generally serve in its place if required).

The C99 functions must use suffixes f and l to distinguish float and long
double versions. C++ uses the template mechanism instead.

Returns the next representable value after <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> in the
direction of <span class="emphasis"><em>y</em></span>. If <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span>
<span class="special">==</span> <span class="identifier">y</span></code>
then returns <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>. If <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is non-finite
then returns the result of a <a class="link" href="../error_handling.html#math_toolkit.error_handling.domain_error">domain_error</a>.
If there is no such value in the direction of <span class="emphasis"><em>y</em></span> then
returns an <a class="link" href="../error_handling.html#math_toolkit.error_handling.overflow_error">overflow_error</a>.
