SE-0277: Float16

+1
I followed the pitch and quickly read the proposal.

+1 on adding Float16 with Half as a typealias.
and for consistency Float and Double should be reversed and be the aliases for Float32 and Float64 respectively.

+1, I've been looking forward to this for a while. I will be using this indirectly to support canonicalization of float point numbers in a CBOR library.

Review Conclusion

The review has now ended and the proposal is accepted.
