That was not intended as an argument either way. You wondered how many
apps out there use floating point, and I just gave you one small
sampling.
My own opinion is that floating point support does not belong in the
OS. There is a math library available for my use, should I need
anything beyond the simple four arithmetic operators for floating point
numbers.
