In practice, `BufferedImage` with floating point values can be rendered by Java2D as well as integers, provided that a compatible `ColorModel` was supplied at construction time. However calls to `setData(Raster)` unexpectedly cast floating point values to integers. For example sample value 0.8 become 0. This is demonstrated by the `SetData` test case in this pull request.

The method contracts documented in their respective Javadoc are compatible. Furthermore an examination of their source code shows that they are equivalent, except for the differences noted in the _Behavioural changes_ section below.

Thanks, done. Waiting for the "okay" from Brian before to launch "/integrate".
