Comment (by vbraun):

 Not all arguments need to be floating point types, there could be integer
 or string parameters. So you can't indiscriminately coerce.

 IMHO we should just add a clause that if output is float and of lower
 precision then use that lower precision. In an ideal world we would be
 able to evaluate everything to arbitrary precision, of course.
