The hex value may be instructive:

0x1ff800000000000020000000000000007L

That's 0x3ff00000000000004000000000000000 << 3 | 7.

3ff000... is the double representation of 1, 400000... is 2.

I bet that that three-bit field at the end has different values for all
the different types they are "faked" for, and one for the ones that
they're "not faked".
