It does make sense that the dereferenced pf is a float, but that doesn't stop it from being confusing. Being a pointer is, to me, part of the type. A pointer is a type after all, so having the * bind to the type would make a lot more sense to me.
Additionnaly it makes it easier too lookup for a variable's type when reading
It would also be easier to grep for types too (not that I've ever found myself doing that, but I'm sure people occasionally do)
