Sorry, I'm an engineer (in this context). For me the issue is only the
following: if I were a user of 4.7.0, I would rather prefer seeing:

33067.C:2:18: error: no match for ‘operator<’ in
‘1.100000000000000088817841970012523233890533447265625e+0 < t’

or

33067.C:2:18: error: no match for ‘operator<’ in ‘1.1e+0 < t’

?

Any other discussion, in this context, does not make sense to me, sorry. I'm
not going to follow it. If the maintainers will reply on gcc-patches they want
the latter, fine I'll do it, otherwise I'll just move to something else.
