Normalize -0.0 in number hashes and test range ends

operator== compares numbers exactly since #5459, so equal numbers
share one value and convert to the same number_float_t. Update the
comment accordingly, map -0.0 to 0.0 before hashing (std::hash need
not do that), and test -0.0 and the ends of the integer ranges. Show
hash(0.0) in the docs example and note the change in the version
history.

+
+The aliases are members of every `basic_json` specialization, including [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), and the
+type they produce is again a `basic_json` specialization. They can therefore be chained to replace several template
+parameters at once:
+
+```cpp
+using my_json = nlohmann::json::with_integers_t<int, unsigned int>::with_float_t<float>;
+using my_ordered_json = nlohmann::ordered_json::with_string_t<std::wstring>;
+```
+
+The result is the same type as spelling out all template parameters, so the order of the chained aliases does not
+matter. For instance, `nlohmann::json::with_object_t<nlohmann::ordered_map>` is `nlohmann::ordered_json`.
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example
+
+    The following code shows how `with_object_t` can be used to create a JSON type that stores object elements in a
+    `std::map` and therefore keeps them sorted by key, unlike the default type which preserves insertion order
+    only when `nlohmann::ordered_json` is used.
+
+    ```cpp
+    --8<-- "examples/with_t.cpp"
+    ```
+
+    Output:
+
+    ```json
+    --8<-- "examples/with_t.output"

-# Error Recovery
-
-By default, parsing stops at the first error. With the [SAX interface](sax_interface.md), you can instead ask the
-parser to *recover*: to repair the error and continue, so that you get as much as possible out of malformed input, for
-instance a file that was cut off, JSON edited by hand, or the output of a language model.
-
-## Recovering from errors
-
-The SAX parser's [`parse_error`](../../api/json_sax/parse_error.md) function is called for every error. Its return value
-decides what happens next:
-
-- `#!cpp false` stops parsing. This is what the SAX parsers of the library do, so [`parse`](../../api/basic_json/parse.md)
-  and [`accept`](../../api/basic_json/accept.md) never recover.
-- `#!cpp true` repairs the error and continues parsing.
-
-When recovering, the SAX parser still receives well-formed events: every `start_object` or `start_array` is followed by
-the matching `end_object` or `end_array`, and every `key` is followed by exactly one value. A SAX parser that creates a
-JSON value, such as the one in the example below, therefore gets a complete value. Parsing always ends, and
-[`sax_parse`](../../api/basic_json/sax_parse.md) returns `#!cpp false` for input that is not valid JSON, even if every
-error was repaired. Each token is reported at most once, and the SAX parser can stop at any error by returning
-`#!cpp false`.
-
-!!! example
-
-    The example below derives a SAX parser from the library's parser for `json` values (`json_sax_dom_parser`),
-    and recovers from all errors.
-
-    ```cpp
-    --8<-- "examples/sax_parse__error_recovery.cpp"
-    ```
-    
-    Output:
-    
-    ```
-    --8<-- "examples/sax_parse__error_recovery.output"
-    ```
-
-## How errors are repaired
-
-Each error is repaired with the smallest local edit: a missing separator is inserted, a stray token is removed, what can
-be read of a broken string or number is kept, and a value that cannot be read at all becomes `#!json null`.

-
-In a string, an unknown escape like `\q` stands for the escaped character (`q`), as in JavaScript. An invalid `\u`
-escape, a lone surrogate, and ill-formed UTF-8 are each replaced by U+FFFD (REPLACEMENT CHARACTER), and control
-characters are kept. A string without its closing quote ends at the next line break or at the end of the input.
-
-The input after the top-level value is not repaired: as without recovery, it is reported as an error, and parsing stops.
-
-## Binary formats
-
-The binary formats ([BJData](../binary_formats/bjdata.md), [BON8](../binary_formats/bon8.md),
-[BSON](../binary_formats/bson.md), [CBOR](../binary_formats/cbor.md), [MessagePack](../binary_formats/messagepack.md),
-and [UBJSON](../binary_formats/ubjson.md)) have no delimiters to find the next value by. So what can be repaired depends
-on whether the end of the item with the error is known, a distinction that
-[RFC 8949, Section 5.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8949.html#section-5.3) makes for CBOR, too.
-
-If the item is complete, but cannot be passed on as it is, it is replaced, and parsing continues after it:

-CBOR tags and simple values are repaired as [RFC 8949, Section 6.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8949.html#section-6.1)
-suggests for converting CBOR to JSON. Note that [`sax_parse`](../../api/basic_json/sax_parse.md) has no parameter for
-CBOR tags, so every tag is an error there; when recovering, tags are ignored like with
-[`cbor_tag_handler_t::ignore`](../../api/basic_json/cbor_tag_handler_t.md). Strings that are not valid UTF-8 are no
-error: like [`from_cbor`](../../api/basic_json/from_cbor.md) and the other functions by default, `sax_parse` passes
-them on as they are.
-
-After any other error, the end of the item is unknown: the input ended, a byte is not a valid type marker, or a size
-cannot be right. Parsing then stops, and the value read so far is completed: a key that waits for its value gets
-`#!json null`, and all open arrays and objects are closed. This keeps everything before the error of an input that was
-cut off. The exception is BSON, which stores the size of every document: an element whose end is unknown gets
-`#!json null`, the rest of its document is skipped, and parsing continues after the document.
-
-## Limitations
-
-- A repair is a guess. For example, `#!json {"a" "b": 1}` could be meant as `#!json {"a": "b"}` or as
-  `#!json {"a": null, "b": 1}`; it is repaired to the former. Treat recovered values as a best effort, and check the
-  reported errors.
-- A closing bracket always closes the innermost array or object. If a bracket is missing rather than wrong, the
-  repair differs from the intention: `#!json {"a": {"b": [1, 2}, "c": 3}` is repaired to
-  `#!json {"a": {"b": [1, 2], "c": 3}}`, although `#!json {"a": {"b": [1, 2]}, "c": 3}` may have been meant.
-- Keys without quotes, and strings in single quotes, are not supported; such members are skipped.
