Ok, in this case keeping it INT (not FLOAT) won't make anyone _not_
using [rast.x] or [rast.y] incur in any penalty and give the correct
type for the others. Those using [rast.x] and [rast.y] in floating
point arithmetics will have to live with the performance issue while
those using them as INTegers will be fine.
