  35       There is no absolute guarantee that these types are the fastest for all purposes.
  36       In any case, however, they satisfy the precision and width requirements.

  38 <p>
  39       Fastest minimum-width floating-point types are provided for all existing exact-width
  40       floating-point types on a given platform.
  41     </p>
  42 <p>
  43       For example, if a platform supports <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float32_t</span></code>
  44       and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float64_t</span></code>, then <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float_fast32_t</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float_fast64_t</span></code>
