I'd vaguely prefer output to be a void*, but let me see how that goes when we
merge in the stuff at

https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/Source/platform/graph...

that's the easy direction to change.

That doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
Any 2-byte data type would be better than void*.
(Like maybe struct HalfFloat { unsigned char data[2]; } )
Yeah, I figured it would be better to fix that in a separate CL.
