Floating point color in Krita

[Mikhail Lyossin]

Also I want to ask about floating point info in filters API - is it there?
I'm asking because I'm getting warnings about space convertions for almost
every filter I am trying to use in 32bit float mode. It is not what I want,
because 32bit RGB have much much wider gamut then any of other colorspaces
introduced, and, in case of any conversion I'm risking to loose some
important data which would fall out of gamut of intermediate colorspace -
that's not what I am really expect from the best image editing app ;)
