Sure it will know!
The confusion is rather when the GL.Float and the GL.Double versions
are named Color. One solution is to choose one type as "most common"
per category (floating-point, integer), and for instance name "Color"
for GL.Double and Color_f for GL.Float:

There is also an automatic tool to generate these parts of bindings in
a consistent manner, with Import pragmata etc. - just use it (or the
binding itself...).
