This is not happening, at least not without 100 times more work than anyone has shown willingness to put into the issue. It seems fairly clear that everyone thinks the int64 datatypes will be the mainstream usage, and the float implementation will be interesting only on very old platforms or for very specialized applications. I cannot see us putting in the effort needed to refactor the code as two simultaneously-available datatypes. regards, tom lane
