Let me go on record as opposing proposals that simple gloss over the 
peculiarities of
float and double and treat them as reals (thus I am agreeing with 
Bijan's and Michael Smith's
positions).  I would vastly prefer that we define our own real type and 
use some explicit
type coercion to compare values across these and other datatypes.
