No muddying whatsoever! :) That's exactly what I do, and further reason 
why I don't want automatic conversions and why I need to use two systems 
simultaneously.

Using floats as accumulators is common design snafu.

3D games often lose precision in the geometry as you move away from the 
origin of coordinates, because of using floating point...
