I would still object to the version submitted, on the grounds of the
compiler warnings it causes. Possibly those could be avoided with
a union, though; Float4GetDatum doesn't produce such warnings.
BTW, would someone explain to me why using a float here will not
fail catastrophically for inputs outside the range of float?
Cubes are based on doubles, not floats.
