I think youre missing the point slightly, currently the only thing that
profiles wrap is the datatype because thats the only area we've discovered
where paltops and desktops diverge.
The idea is that there would be one palmtop profile and one desktop
profile (and maybe others), but these could de independently versioned so
that eg. the paltop profile may move to float and the desktop may move to
doubles, at some point in the future.
