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.

\tcode{_Float16}, \tcode{_Float32}, \tcode{_Float64}, and \tcode{_Float128}
defined in ISO/IEC TS 18661-3 and with future versions of \IsoCUndated{}.
defined in \IsoC{} H.2.2.
