So that I think user should declare floats explicitly (###.###f) - he will fall into float space only if
he wish it.

I hate it. I want to get float when I wish to get float. In that case i would like to write #f.
I want to stay with decimals by default. (and I want decimals written in C)

But it just an opinion of young inexperienced/unpractised man.
