It is one of those cases where it made sense in C because it puts the burden on the programmer and the C-convention is to have the type in the name so it is "somewhat explicit" in C. C++ compilers solve this by having warning-options for float->double and also double->float conversions.
The conversion becomes rather problematic if you use Infinity to mean an open-ended interval. It means that a closed interval can implicitly be converted into an open-ended interval... :-/
