Ideally, real and numeric will go away.

`parseFloat32` (real) suffers from loss of precision. I tried Buffer's native function `readFloat`<sup>[1](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buf_readfloatle_offset_noassert)</sup> but the same precision loss happened.

However a code snippet from [http://www.dzone.com/snippets/javascript-binary-single](dzone) :P worked.
