It's not clear how normalized and non-normalized "frequencies" end up
in the same collection, but, if they do, it really sounds like they
should all be represented as floats. As pointed out by others, watch
out for integers with no exact SWI float representation, but on the
plus side, it doesn't sound like you have NaN, Inf, -0, or any
negative numbers at all for that matter, so at least the floats will
be easy to compare.
