column was created with "double" type instead of "float"

• PHP Version:7.1.7
• Database Driver & Version: 5.0.12-dev

Description:

I have described table as below:

    Schema::create('movies', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('title');
        $table->string('title_en')->nullable();

        $table->integer('year')->default(0);
        $table->integer('duration')->default(0);

        $table->text('description')->nullable();

        $table->float('rating_imdb', 2, 1)->nullable();
        $table->float('rating_kinopoisk',2, 1)->nullable();

        $table->integer('megogo_id')->unsigned()->unique()->nullable();
        $table->integer('kinopoisk_id')->unsigned()->nullable();

        $table->unique(['megogo_id', 'kinopoisk_id']);
    });

Pay attention for two columns of type float:
$table->float('rating_imdb', 2, 1)->nullable();
$table->float('rating_kinopoisk',2, 1)->nullable();

But in database laravel creates columns with type of double

CREATE TABLE `movies` (
	`id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
	`title` VARCHAR(191) NOT NULL COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
	`title_en` VARCHAR(191) NULL DEFAULT NULL COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
	`year` INT(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
	`duration` INT(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
	`description` TEXT NULL COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
	`rating_imdb` DOUBLE(2,1) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
	`rating_kinopoisk` DOUBLE(2,1) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
	`megogo_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NULL DEFAULT NULL,
	`kinopoisk_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NULL DEFAULT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
	UNIQUE INDEX `movies_megogo_id_kinopoisk_id_unique` (`megogo_id`, `kinopoisk_id`),
	UNIQUE INDEX `movies_megogo_id_unique` (`megogo_id`)
)
COLLATE='utf8mb4_unicode_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB
;

Steps To Reproduce:

php artisan migrate

@strobil Laravel treats float as double in the blueprint.

@ccrims0n But if i want double, i will use $table->double, isn't it?
