It's surprising that the C standard consistently says "floating type(s)" while the C++ standard consistently says "floating-point type(s)". I'm not sure whether it's better to follow the wording convention in C++.

In this context, we are specifically talking about those types defined in C23, so it wouldn't make sense to use our own terminology.

@tkoeppe it would be nice if we could do this before shipping the DIS. We should at least get cross-references to other ISO standards right.
