  * int8, float4, and float8 can be passed by value if Datum is wide enough.
  * (For backwards-compatibility reasons, we allow pass-by-ref to be chosen
- * at compile time even if pass-by-val is possible.)  For the float types,
- * we need a support routine even if we are passing by value, because many
- * machines pass int and float function parameters/results differently;
- * so we need to play weird games with unions.
+ * at compile time even if pass-by-val is possible.)
  *
  * Note: there is only one switch controlling the pass-by-value option for
  * both int8 and float8; this is to avoid making things unduly complicated
