Unfortunately (for you)....

6.3.1.8

       [#2] The values of floating operands and of the  results  of
       floating expressions may be represented in greater precision
       and range than that required by the type; the types are  not
       changed thereby.

[with a footnote]

       52)The  cast  and assignment operators are still required to
          perform  their  specified  conversions  as  described  in
          6.3.1.4 and 6.3.1.5.
