Hold on, wait what? Why use a float when a boolean is sufficient. That's
plain bad, unless and until we decide to use actual floating point values...

Boolean sounds even better to me, yes. Right now it has a range of 0..32767 though, so clearly whoever originally wrote this intended for a range of values - and in that case I say we make it a float like the axes - but either is fine to me, just how it is currently is bad.
