Same thing goes with a fixed point type. People keep
complaining about it, but honestly if I were in the finance

i've seen some implementations already (and, of course, made my
own too). it is not that hard, and it working nice. so yes, i'm
all for that. and literals of various custom types can be
implemented with CTFE magic, like `octal!`, for example.
Well, it is a lot of work to get the base 10 IEEE 754-2008
implementation conformant. Fortunately IBM has already done it
under a BSD license:

So all you base-10 dudes have to do is to translate it into D.
