why is there seemingly no support for "float" (32 bit values) type in thrift?

[Gautam Thaker]

I am reading/running/modifying the tutorial as  a way to understand
thrift. I noticed that thrift only seems to support a 64 bit float
value, and not a 32 bit float value. There are times when 32 bit values
would be a better choice.

Is this hard to add?
