I'm stills doubtful about asFloatD/E/Q.
I've never used these methods either, but they are part of the ANSI Standard. I think that having an accurate coverage of the standard is central to Pharo, even if this is not used from within Pharo itself.
Anyone has the ANSI Standard specification?
Ask Google. There is a draft of revision 1.9 online. I don't know if there are newer versions. Probably not.
I don't want to look at the old code to implement the new and from the message names isn't clear to me what is supposed to do.
#asFloatD/E/Q is the same as #asFloat. This is only meaningful for Smalltalk that support floats of different sizes.
