[Coco] CMOC C-like compiler now supports float under Color Basic

[Mathieu Bouchard]

I'd recommend reserving the keyword "float" for 32-bit floats and "double" for 
64-bit floats as on other compilers & computers, and come up with another name 
such as "float40" or whatever for 40-bit float. This would be just in case you 
add support for 32 or 64-bit floats one day.
