While strictly correct, I think this might be a bit misleading. GCL
has a rather odd arrangement that its single-float, double-float, and
long-float types are all IEEE double-precision floats. But GCL
supports short-floats which are IEEE single-precision floats.
Given that maxima really only wants double-floats, maybe we can remove
all support for anything besides double-floats?
