This is not unreasonable. And would allow dmd to fix their whole C++
long/ulong mangling mess.
Yeah this seems like the only reasonable one. Although I think they should
only be allowed as parameters in extern(C++) functions, where they set up
the custom mangling and then decay to int/uint/long/ulong as appropriate.

I don't think so, as there is 'real' for that.
real doesn't always match long double in dmd.
