[yt-dev] single-precision instead of double precision

Are there any plans to natively support single-precision datasets?
(sometimes we store 32-bit instead of 64-bit to save space).  If I access
my data and then create a covering grid, in the YTCoveringGridBase code,
when it makes the grid for the data, it hardcodes in "float64" -- ideally
it would keep the precision of the dataset all the way through.
