Am I doing something wrong here?
real.max evaluates to: 1.18973e+4932

So, I'd expect to be able to store any value up to that... however
```
void main()
{
    writeln("Real max: ", real.max);
    foreach(i; 0..10){
        writefln!("1024 ^^ %s = %s")(i, real(1024 ^^ i));

Like some other languages, expressions are mostly evaluated in 
isolation. 1024 ^^ i is an int, which cannot represent anything close to 
real.max. :)

This should work:

  real(1024) ^^ i
