title: Possible to typedef 'num' to 'float' in dart?
body: <p>I'm finding myself jumping back and forth between dart, c, and glsl with the same code and I was wondering if it was possible to make my life a bit easier by typedef'ing, or somehow otherwase aliasing <code>num</code> to be named <code>float</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Clearly the following doesn't work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>typedef num float;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Though I wish it did. Is there a different way to do this?</p>
