Shouldn't it be part of std.numeric?
Related, we should have a decision point "this must go through
the review process" vs. "the pull review process is
sufficient". New modules definitely must go through the review
process, as should large additions to existing models.

It _IS_ part of std.numeric!
Why is it in std.numeric anyway? I would expect std.numeric to
contain numerical algorithms, not something like this.
Suggestion: Combine HalfFloat with CustomFloat and move the
result in a separate module, say std.float. Also move there
IeeeFlags, FloatingPointControl, NaN, getNaNPayload, nextUp,
nextDown, nextafter and related things. Those have nothing to do
with math. Possibly also isNaN, isFinite, isNormal, isSubnormal
and isInfinity.
