[Bug/Feature?] Messagebox auto-completing [dict.] values

Hi,
I am currently working on a project consisting of dictionaries which store various kinds of sample data (length etc.). I have noticed that when I type into a message box any numbers similar to those in the dictionary, MAX autocompletes the messagebox to the dictionary values.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

See example below:

the same happens without the dict. I guess it is more a problem of 32bit-float quantization.
I thought numbers had been pushed to 64bits resolution in Max6... it seems not to be the case.

In Max 6.0.x, the audio processing engine uses 64 bits precision. The max objects still communicates with 32 bits float.
