Thanks for the replies.

I tend to use a lot of float math (robotics and automation) so I almost
always want float output in case of division. And once in a while I bump
into this issue.

I am wondering what are the best ways to work around it.

    float c = a / b;     // a and b could be integers.

Some solutions:

    float c = cast!float(a) / b;

auto c = float(a) / b;
