There are plenty of letters to go around. As a game engine and numerics nerd I could see spraying '_f32' or '_f80' everywhere getting old fast too. Repurposing 'f' to mean 'f32' would be a nice olive branch to C programmers (with type checking to catch when you forget it!), especially when current '1f' can just as well be written '1.' . -Joe
