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.
How are you doing this? I'm not seeing the behavior you describe.
What I can do is turn my constant table into a function:
constant :: Fractional a =3D> String -> a constant "k_B" = 0.0083144708636327096
and have the return values be of type Fractional a =3D> a. But I suppose there is some runtime cost associated with such a function call, so I would rather avoid it.
