FloatFields should return a float() datatype so they can be used in
comparison.
The issue arises when you want to compare data in the database, to data
thats not yet in the database.
e.g.
float_field = FloatField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=8)
a = MyModel.objects.get(pk=1)
In [57]: a.unknown3
Out[57]: Decimal("0.00")
In [58]: a.unknown3 == 0
Out[58]: True
In [59]: a.unknown3 == 0.0
Out[59]: False
In [60]: a.unknown3 == 0.00
Out[60]: False
This is misdirection and I believe one of the following should happen:
* the data type should either be changed to a float
* the data type should be comparable with a float
* it should be relabeled DecimalField
