I'm sure this was mentioned before, but what does halffloat have over std.numeric.CustomFloat?
"These formats are for storage only; all operations on them are performed by first implicitly extracting them to real first."

But since std.numeric was mentioned, why not add HalfFloat there rather than its own separate module?
