Donald Knuth would not commit murder. He might mention Mr. Boon as "deprecated" in his next book, or worse, not mention him at all.

to deal with this bad practice, you could define both:
#define t_float double #define float double
That second one probably won't work with any compiler. Redefining basic data types should not be allowed - they are reserved for a reason. If nothing else, #define float double is a million times worse bad practice compared to what you are trying to fix. Donald Knuth would murder you on the spot for doing that. ;)
