yeah, I agree, just like now it has pd 32 bit application and pd 64 bit
application over there and they both are named the same. I don't see a good
reason to have a different name for the double precision version and I
think this is the one that will be the modern and "good one"... the others
will be there for compatibility to old externals and patches I guess.

can't say anything about this.

I remember that at first, when it was all fresh news, the 64 bit had a
different name, now it's the 32 bit that has a different name. We could
have a phase where 'double' is marked.

for reference, pd ceammc already is available for double precision and they
mark the double precision version as 'double', at least on the download
section on github, for reference ===>
