But they could. Otherwise we still have the issue of Float32 vs Float64.
And if each 'profile' is one datatype, then how is that any different from
asking for a single plug-global datatype, which the host must match or deny
the plugin?
Your cell phones would not load Float32 plugins. Your DAW might not load
Int16 plugins, but could have a builtin adaptor for Float64 to native
Float32.

Ditto for above. I just don't like categorizing by intended use. No one
has any clue what anyone intends.
