[Openmcl-devel] Floating point precision

[Alexander Repenning]

A happy compromise may be to set *read-default-float-format* to double  
and to edit your int constants to be in single float format, e.g.,  
"2.0" At least you would not have to append the "d0" to each constant  
value which I agree would look a tad ugly.
