Right. But: you can declare it to have type Fractional alpha => alpha, which is the same type the constant has in the middle of an expression.
I can make such a declaration, but it still gets converted to Double. What I can do is turn my constant table into a function: constant :: Fractional a => String -> a constant "k_B: = 0.0083144708636327096 and have the return values be of type Fractional a => a. But I suppose there is some runtime cost associated with such a function call, so I would rather avoid it. Konrad.
