[ruby-talk:00220] Re: name for float of C wanted!

I would love to have a RoughFloat or CoarseFloat, personally, but if
you are trying to imply via the name that the float in question is
not very precise rather than it being a tough character that beats
up other numbers at the bar, SmallFloat would be most appropriate.
SingleFloat might be the most descriptive, and SFloat might be the best.

So, SmallFloat or SFloat are my votes.
