Real implicitly converts to float?

It is one of those cases where it made sense in C because it puts 
the burden on the programmer and the C-convention is to have the 
type in the name so it is "somewhat explicit" in C. C++ compilers 
solve this by having warning-options for float->double and also 
double->float conversions.

The conversion becomes rather problematic if you use Infinity to 
mean an open-ended interval. It means that a closed interval can 
implicitly be converted into an open-ended interval... :-/
