Nope, it results in float. glibc has a trick involving obscure
interactions of null pointer constants and the ?: operator that
generates the right type using __typeof__, which is no big deal
because this code is already only used when __typeof__ is available,
anyway.
There's a good blog article on it somewhere which I can't seem to find
at the moment...
