yep, if it sees float it will upgrade column to "object" type and
sorting will be lost

i think there are no, we just didn't get to it as floats aren't used
as frequently as integers and strings are. i think it would be
enough to modify functions  postgres-format and postgres-value-to-lisp
to support floats and it will work.
