since they said (maybe joked) on discord that it's a bug if the compiler uses f32 anywhere 🙃

can you add a reference to this PR so that people can revert it if they need it later (which they probably don't but you never know)?

Sure thing; done.

If you're here in the future: you might want to change how this works, because using LEB128 for floats is a poor choice -- even a simple float like 1.0_f32 takes 5 bytes since all the zeros are in the low bits. It should probably either be always 4 bytes or do a swap_bytes before the LEB128 encoding.

Indeed, the only f32s for which ordinary LEB128 encoding is better than "always 4 bytes" are 0 through 2.938734e-39. And I suspect those (other than zero itself) are not particularly common -- after all, they're subnormal.
