Why do we have both TSpinEdit and TFloatSpinEdit? It seems like TFloatSpinEdit is enough. TFloatSpinEdit has property DecimalPlaces and when set to 0, it displays an Integer (although it's a Float). It's easy enough to get the Integer Value, but it could have Property FloatValue and Property IntValue.

FloatValue and Property IntValue.
I presume for Delphi compatibility. It is then possible to convert a Delphi project to a Lazarus project without rewriting source code that involves spinedits. (The Delphi TSpinEdit has a Value property that is a longint).

Does Delphi even have a TFloatSpinEdit? I suppose it does but I haven't found anything by googling.
