Is there a way to convert a float (or double/real) to an integral number

I need to extract the sign, exponent and mantissa yet I cant use bit shifting.
"Error: 'R' is not of integral type, it is a real" is the error I get.
There's a super-hacky way: pass the real as a template value parameter,
and parse the .mangleof it! Not recommended, but it does work.
The other way is to do it with CTFE, subtracting powers of 2 until the
residual is < 1.
Not great either.
The usual *cast(uint*)&value wont work either at compile time.
Any suggestions?
