I meant to say that "fromRational . toRational" is not appropriate for converting values from one floating point type to another floating point type.

It gets even worse: My GPU doesn't know about doubles and its floats aren't IEEE, at all (not that Haskell Doubles are guaranteed to be IEEE iirc) I think the situation calls for a split interface: One to satisfy the numericists / scientific IEEE users, and one to satisfy performance. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
