If that is the case, I would rather not see us use floating point for
this.
I have used "#define MAX_SCORE 60000.0" to sneakily run rename similarity
score in floating point, feeling ashamed of it, and have been meaning to
fix that for quite a long time, but other than that, I do not think we
have anything that uses float.
