Over at In Cocoa do you prefer NSInteger or just regular int, and why?

Over at In Cocoa do you prefer NSInteger or just regular int, and why?, there was mention of NSDouble and NSFloat, but I can’t see a reference for those in any documentation. If NSInteger‘s purpose is for architectural safety, what about other types such as double or float?

    NSInteger exists because the int type varies in size between 32-bit and 64-bit systems. float and double don’t vary in size the same way, so there’s no need to have wrapper types for them.
