yes:

(56) -> MV(x) == (1+sin(x/sqrt(2)))/2
                                                                   Type:
Void
(57) -> MV 0.3
   Compiling function MV with type Float -> Expression(Float)

   (57)  0.60527231
                                                      Type:
Expression(Float)


I even would expect the result here being in Float
