float32, float64?

My request is simple.  Improve the type below.
I don't think I should have to convert the value to a float32
sequence and back just to see if the stored value is accurate.

    I know that float64 is as accurate as I can get.  I don't
want to store numbers as float64 if I can accurately store
them as float32.

  Thanks in advanced for your assistance.

type float32(atom a)
  return (a = float32_to_atom(atom_to_float32(a)))
end type
