ksh and zsh are already behaving in that way, and if Bash would

Hello!
I would like to report an issue with bash version >=5.2.
For years, I have had the following line in my ~/.bashrc:

This worked perfectly up to and including bash version 5.1.0(16).
However, since bash versio
the most obvious use of floating variables would be to compare
balances and to branch based on if a balance is lower than a certain
value
I use:
t=$(python3 -c "import math;print($balance > 0)")
and the

echo "Result <= 0 [$t] Client $clname $clid Balance $balance"

I think that we should do this in the shell. I mean. It will get done at
some point, in the next decades or centuries. Why not do it now? Let's
compile some C library or allow inline C
