Zig Version

0.15.0-dev.169+fa86e09fb

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

Methods like std.Random.(float | floatNorm | floatExp ) should support the creation of random floating point for all supported floating point formats by zig.

Currently these methods switch to @compileError("unknown floating point type").

Expected Behavior

Support every floating point
