Easy enough - anybody who doesn't care for the tenth digit behind the
decimal point. Lots of business applications get written that way (those
that consist mostly of user interface, not those that do internal number
crunching). Of course these business apps would be better off with
fixed-point arithmetic, but you don't have this in C/C++ (but in Ada and
I think in Cobol).
