This should probably be documented more clearly. Supporting unboxed floats would be messy in Smalltalk, and I don't think it's a high priority since you probably don't want to be using Smalltalk for computationally expensive tasks. What I would like to do is create two BigInt subclass, which wrap the GMP arbitrary precision rational and floating point stuff, and have BigInt and its subclasses automatically create the correct kind for the results of calculations, so you only ever lose precision of you do something (e.g. sqrt) which results in an irrational number.
