Floats are stored as strings so they are exact numbers, like decimal type, but maybe if someone types a DBF fields as float they are expecting a float so maybe just return a float? Currently returns a double, would have to to make a breaking-ish change, but it's not right either a float or a decimal make sense.

Double fields are actually stored as doubles, and could return doubles but aren't currently supported.

It's more complicated that it seamed dbf Double is only support in specific versions of DBFs and "B" potentially conflics with other types of DBFs for blob.
