Does anyone object to me changing float(CDF(1.0)) to behave like

I think I wrote the original code for this, and I am ok with the
change you suggest, since our policy on explicit coercions is to make
them work when they make (some) mathematical sense.
I just found on trac that Robert Bradshaw also (at least at one time)
seemed to want this change:
