Is there a sensible way to make GSL use floats instad of doubles
internally at compile time? This may sound like a strange idea, but I am
asking becaue of performance reasons.
No, because some GSL functions explicitly expect a certain level of precision.
Some functions, in my experience most, are already compiled by default
to several levels of precision. See section 2.9 of the GSL manual:
