Ah aaah.... now I understand...
You want to give your float identifiers any name you want without bothering
that that name is already used somewhere (for example in math.inc) as a
function parameter. But why bother? Just use another identifier. Of course I
usually expect an uppercased identifier (such as R) to work in any
situation, but this could be just a minor problem in math.inc design.
