Re: modf is for doubles, no?

If you look on the exact same page you referenced, down below it says

modf(long double, long double*)

In fact, everything listed in the top half of the page is reflected in
the bottom half, with s/float/long double/. 

You probably know much more than I do about this, since I rarely look
at this stuff. Does this mean modf()'s overloaded?
