[M3devel] quick question for the Modula-3 ether... LONGFLOAT??

[Mika Nystrom]

Does anyone out there have any idea why a lot of bits of Modula-3
refer to something called "LONGFLOAT" or "LongFloat".  I just checked
Wirth, and Modula-2 used "REAL" as well so it doesn't seem like
LONGREAL would ever have been called "LONGFLOAT".

Is LONGFLOAT/LongFloat of any significance or is it OK to
search-and-replace it away with LONGREAL/LongReal everywhere?

(I'm talking about things like the emacs macro package as well as
all over m3tk...)
