Add convenience method for other java floating-point types(float, double)

[lkishor]

It would be great if BufferedSource & BufferedSink would have methods for reading and writing float & doubles as

float readFloat()
float readFloatLe()
double readDouble()
double readDoubleLe()

writeFloat(float v)
writeFloatLe(float v)
writeDouble(double v)
writeDoubleLe(float v)

I need these methods, as I am trying to read from a Persistent Socket connection which transfers byte[].
And now for reading a float I have to write
float val = ByteBuffer.wrap(data.readByteArray(4)).order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN).getFloat()

which at the least is a lot of code instead of data.readFloatLe()

and as per my understanding involves multiple copying of byte[] (memory allocation stuff), which is what I was trying to avoid by using OKIO

Can you do Float.intBitsToFloat(data.readIntLe()) and
Double.longBitsToDouble(data.readLongLe()) ?
