These messages will disappear if Lua_Number casts double instead of float. Is there any reason that Lua has float for its numeric type?

They appear because "double" has more precision than "float", so when
the result of a routine that returns a double is converted to "float",
some kind of truncation or rounding takes place. The warnings are just
there to remind you, which is a good thing. I should ignore but not
suppress them.
