Thanks for your suggestion.

On all systems, the @code{:float} and @code{:double} types represent a
C @code{float} and @code{double}, respectively. On most but not all
systems, @code{:float} and @code{:double} represent a Lisp
@code{single-float} and @code{double-float}, respectively. It is not
so useful to consider the relationship between Lisp types and C types
as isomorphic, as simply to recognize the relationship, and relative
precision, among each respective category.

Does this look better?
