Hi Michael -

Thanks for the pointer.  If I use a floating point policy, but pass in
an integer, will it simply be ignored?  In other words, if I use
generate, but I don't know the type being generated into a string, how
do I specify these policies?  Or do I need to specialize my own use of
generate to only do this if I have a floating point type?

Thanks,
  Brian
