I don't think the people in favor of Matthew's proposal are saying this. I
think they are saying that the negatives of `dtype=None` (serious, silent
failures) outweigh the negatives of `dtype=float` (people who want to do
something specific have to pass an explicit parameter in their code).

Perhaps you would frame that different, but I'm confused at the extent to
which people seem to be talking past each other.
