I guess the argument here is that 'f' is easier to type, and still
visually distinct, while 'l' looks too much like '1' so 'L' helps make
the distinction.  Also, %Lg is how you specify long double to printf, so
writing a constant with L helps.

No problem by me if we stick to 'f' and 'L' for the places where we want
suffixes.
