Research direction
The issue names HTCL but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing type definitions and related parsing or validation logic, then determine how an explicit floating-point type should fit the current type system. Done means HTCL accepts and handles floating-point values as a distinct type, with tests covering the new behavior.
