I suppose the question is what is the float to be used for. There are already (un)packdouble functions so passing it around to various tools should be fine. I think when this has come up in other places it was read in as a string and translated to a double afterwards. I couldn't find anywhere in the code where it was happening like this but I didn't look very hard. I don't think adding the new function to read it in is a horrible idea, it was probably just never really needed. So back to the first question, what is the float/double to e used for ;). Perhaps it doesn't need to be a float. But it may be this is the only option.
