 types are always sized (there are no <code>float</code> or <code>complex</code> basic types),
 because programmers should be aware of precision when using floating-point numbers.
 The default type used for an (untyped) floating-point constant is <code>float64</code>.
-Thus <code>foo := 3.0</code> declares a variable <code>foo</code> of type <code>float64</code>.
-For a <code>float32</code> variable initialized by a constant, the variable type must be specified explicitly
-in the variable declaration <code>var foo float32 = 3.0</code>, or the constant must be given a 
-type with a conversion as in <code>foo := float32(3.0)</code>.
