I don't recall. At one point there was a tentative plan to support
float32 by casting them a block at a time to float64, operating on them
and them casting them back. That's to limit the number of bytecodes that
we need to support and keep the switch statement at a manageable size.
However, it doesn't look like that ever got implemented, so the answer
is probably no.
