A D compiler is allowed to compute floating point results at arbitrarily

It seems like there is some change in C99 to address excess precision.
Namely assignments and casts are NOT allowed to have greater precision.
Not sure if assignments refers to first storing and then loading a
value. So maybe it's useful to review that rule.
