To be blunt, baloney. I ran into these problems ALL THE TIME when doing
professional numerical work.
Sorry for being so abrupt. FP is important to me - it's not just about
performance, it's also about accuracy.
The only problem is/would be when the language forces one choice over
the other. Both options of maximum performance and maximum precision
should be handily accessible to D users.
