Yes, of course.
What I wanted to say here is that such representation compiler optimisations
have to be documented and somehow normalized in order to be able to
interface OCaml with C. As for floats array, there is a description of how
they are handled in the Manual chapter 17.3.3.
As the case of only-one-constructor is not documented, then there is no
optimisation :)
