but with respect to single vs double precision floats this doesn't
change anything.
since on 64bit archs, a t_atom is 64bit (+overhead) wide, it might be a
good idea to switch to double here, at least in message domain. (but i'm
not sure whether signal and message precision should be different (as is
in max))
