As I acknowledged upthread (and you snipped):
To make it useful, you'd have to make the preprocessor aware that
unsigned int has a size of 4 bytes on the target system, overriding
the current wording of 6.10.1p4.

For that construct to be at all useful, of course sizeof(float) should
yield the same value that it yields in a non-preprocessor expression.
The difficulty of rigorously defining that and then implementing it is
probably why C doesn't currently define such a feature.
