Inspired by Raymond's discovery, I decided to pull the trigger and perform the long-awaited upgrade of all floats to doubles in Fitness classes.  This entailed:

	- Changing floats to doubles
	- Changing various FLOAT.. to DOUBLE..
	- Changing float literals (0.0f, etc.) to double just in case
	- Removing unnecessary casts
	- Slight tweaks to the documentation

This will be *sort* of non-backward compatible: you'll want to modify your applications so that you don't cast stuff to floats before setting the fitness or else you'll lose out on the extra expressivity.

It was a lot of by-hand refactoring and I'm sure I messed something up.  I'm a bit spooked about committing it, and haven't done so, unless I can get a few people to do some testing for me.  Here's the classes which were affected.  Can anyone volunteer for me?
