     You have already said "So pointing me to JLS is like turning
cycles, only confirming that Java has only float and double."  That
is, the JLS has already given you an answer -- but you don't like
the answer, and keep asking for a different one.  Do you really
think your persistent rejection of "No" is productive?

     "I want to climb the rainbow."  "The rainbow is an illusion of
refraction and angles, not a physical climbable thing."  "Why don't
you tell me how to climb the rainbow instead of saying `No' all the
time?"
