460	Always type-infer floating point types	dagss	scoder	"Depends on #236.

Since Python uses {{{double}}} for its {{{float}}} and {{{complex}}} types and all important operations on it can map directly to C space, and since Python<->C conversions are 1:1, we can safely turn on type-inference in this case without breaking anything.

This requires that #236 is implemented first though so that any use of attributes or methods goes through.

'''Note''' that, at least if {{{typeinference}}} is turned off, this means that
{{{
cdef float x = 3.2
y = x # y will be typed as double,
      # so as to behave as if y was a Python
      # object
}}}

Unresolved issue: If {{{typeinference}}} is turned on, perhaps {{{y}}} should be typed as float instead."	enhancement	closed	major	0.13	Code Generation	fixed
