[Fred J. Tydeman]

Should we consider these issues as editorial changes in C23?

Subject: N2596: terminology: floating constant vs. floating-point constant

Hello Fred,

N2596 uses the following terms:
- floating constant (61 times)
- floating-point constant (4 times)

Question: why not using "floating constant" everywhere? Or is
"floating-point constant" a typo?

Also: N2596 uses both:
- hexadecimal floating constant (12 times)
- hexadecimal floating-point constant (1 time)

Question: Is "hexadecimal floating-point constant" a typo?
