<p>
      The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">float_fast</span><span class="special">#</span><span class="identifier">_t</span></code>, with
      # replaced by the width, designates the <span class="bold"><strong>fastest</strong></span>
      floating-point type with a <span class="bold"><strong>width of at least # bits</strong></span>.
    </p>
<p>
      There is no absolute guarantee that these types are the fastest for all purposes.
      In any case, however, they satisfy the precision and width requirements.
    </p>
<p>
      Fastest minimum-width floating-point types are provided for all existing exact-width
      floating-point types on a given platform.
    </p>
<p>
      For example, if a platform supports <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float32_t</span></code>
      and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float64_t</span></code>, then <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float_fast32_t</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float_fast64_t</span></code>
      will also be supported, etc.
