> Before it did the operation at real precision, then down casted.

The function is bugged. I did a straightforward rewrite of frexp() just based
on the docs, and my version produces the expected answer without any need for
extra precision.

However, my rewrite depends upon a revised version of my floating-point
decomposition union type, so fixing #16026 will have to wait until after the
union itself gets accepted into std.math or std.bitmanip.

(And that, in turn, may have to wait until I get a newly discovered DMD codegen
bug fixed.)
