+# Emulate the is_float function
+# The regex is what's currently used in is_float
+# To keep your development moving forward, you can also add a deprecation warning using the Integer type:
+#
+# ```class example($value) { validate_float($value,) }```
+#
+# would turn into
+#
+# ```
+# class example(Stdlib::Compat::Float $value) {
+#   validate_float($value, 10, 0)
+#   assert_type(Integer[0, 10], $value) |$expected, $actual| {
+#     warning("The 'value' parameter for the 'ntp' class has type ${actual}, but should be ${expected}.")
+#   }
+# }
+# ```
+#
+# This allows you to find all places where a consumers of your code call it with unexpected values.
