Can I get a new, single patch on this ticket? Also, it would update the IntRelNotes.text if you haven't already.

I changed test lines like:

    assert n.getType is Single

to:

    assert n inherits float32  # .warning. always

Because I'm thinking more about other backends like Java and Objective-C. The second statement is portable. The warning verification is a nice bonus as Cobra *should* be giving a warning given the nature of the directive.

Patch is applied. Closing ticket.
