I was talking to Leo in the IRC room and he told me post onto the list about proposing to change all floats to nums. Code such as `.local float i` would instead be written as `.local num i`, but as I gather it, current behavior would remain the same, or at least general behavior.
I don't endorse this change in it's entirety as you suggest, it will wreak havoc with globals down the road.
I see no reason to not modify any routines using decimal arithmetics however changing binary arithmetics to be referenced as floats is just poor programming and promotes unstable structure.
