Bug Description

Methanal needs a NumericInput control, FloatInput, analogous to the IntegerInput and DecimalInput controls, to handle Axiom's ieee754_double attribute type.

While ieee754_double attributes can be tricky to handle, there is still a place for them in some applications[1], and therefore Methanal is incomplete without explicit support for them.
