+ * This is a really annoying warning since the standard specifies that

+ * to specify a constant of type double. To quiet gcc, we specify floating
+ * point constants as type long double and cast to double.
+ *
+ * Note that this macro only needs to be used where using a double
+ * is important. For most code, suffixing constants with F will quiet the
+ * compiler and not produce erroneous code.
