Bug: failure to compile in Xcode 16.2 with Float16 type, missing @available for >= ios 14.0

[brittlewis12]

Describe the bug

Tried updating my project’s package dependency on usearch from 2.17.1 to 2.17.6 — got compilation errors suggesting to mark all the Float16 methods as @available for only iOS 14 or later. I suppose an alternative could be declaring minimum supported OS versions in the Package.swift.

Steps to reproduce

In my project targeting only iOS 17 or later, adding usearch 2.17.6 to package dependencies is enough to surface this compilation error.

Expected behavior

No problems compiling for a project which only targets OS versions supported by all types and interfaces used.

USearch version

2.17.6

Operating System

macOS 15.3.2, targeting >= ios 17.0

Hardware architecture

Arm

Which interface are you using?

Other bindings

@brittlewis12, that may be the only right way - to mark all Float16 methods accordingly, as Swift only supports Float16 on iOS version 14 and newer.
