encode array of floats as binary container

[corecode]

Is there a reason why arrays of floating point numbers are not being encoded in a binary container?

[eieio]

No reason other than there isn't a specialization to handle it, like there is for integral types.

I think it makes sense to use the binary container encoding for floating point arrays.

[corecode]

It seems like e.g. the vector specialization just needs to be changed from EnableIfIntegral to EnableIfArithmetic?

[eieio]

That would work, but there might be users with data in the current encoding. It would be safer to add a separate specialization that can handle reading both encodings.

[corecode]

how would I implement this?

I'll look into it when I get a chance. I'm thinking of starting to maintain versioned releases to handle format breaking changes. Once I work that out I'll put up a point release with this change.
