The time to change this was 3.0, if it was ever needed. It would break
too much code now. We could develop some strategy using macros, but I
just don't think it's worth it.

And as Amaury points it, the type is known in python as "float", so to
change it would be confusing. That it uses C doubles is an
implementation detail.
