Nope -- I think that where we're passing or returning an actual IEEE single/double to a helper function "float*" is a better type than uint32_t: it gives information about what the helper's argument semantically is, and it means we don't have every helper that takes or returns a float have to include ugly calls to the boxing/unboxing macros. -- PMM
