Source type.c says settype($var, "double") is deprecated

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, accidentally I came across settype() in ext/standard/type.c which says ~ } else if (!strcasecmp(new_type, "float")) {

~    convert_to_double(*var);

~ } else if (!strcasecmp(new_type, "double")) { /* deprecated */

~    convert_to_double(*var);

This is the context of calling ~ settype($val, "double"); I don't understand the comment, because in gettype() there is ~ case IS_DOUBLE:

~    RETVAL_ASCII_STRING("double", 1);
~    break;

There's no possibility that gettype() returns "float", so maybe this comment is just in the wrong line? All in all a pretty superfluously mail but I thought I bring some diversification in the type hint debate ;) - - Markus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHgS4E1nS0RcInK9ARArFQAKDBW9vqTA9QpA0LIVa/o18gZ1p0wACfQafo KlyHR+2BYlk2Oj9B8KrQan4= =vyS0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
