Julia, conveniently provides an `Int` type, which is alias for `Int64`. I
like this because it frees me from thinking about which integer type to
use. But there is no corresponding `Float` type which is alias for
`Float64`. Why?
It seems a trivial thing, but who knows what shifts will happen in floating
point computation over the next 10 years? Another reason why it could be
nice to have this, is because it would then let me set Float=Float32
locally or globally if wanted to experiment with it. I realise I can do
that anyways, but it would be nicer to have a standard name?
Thanks,
Christoph
