Not quite: If the number is interpreted as double, and you want a
single, you can write "...LL drop". But it's a pitfall: A user could
easily write "...L" and expect the L to be interpreted as a digit, and
the mistake might not be found out until much later. The purpose of
the RfD is to get rid of a pitfall, not to introduce a new one.
