Am I missing something? I realize doubles are generally faster because of hardware implementations &c, but that seems orthogonal from the question of syntax. I've several times thought idealistically that it could be better to have the syntaxes switched (to reduce the amount of accidental floating point use), and the only downsides I know of are A) surprising people (especially people who think they can divide 2 by 3 without thinking about it), and B) needing to be more careful when you're trying to use doubles for performance. Maybe you were referring to B?
Of course I do realize it's *way* too late to change it now ☺.
