CustomFloat is pretty much broken now so it's not like we're losing much
by checking in the new thing. Let's go for it. Aud Caesar, aud nihil.

At this point, between the beta and the public release, I think we should
consider all three packages frozen except for critical fixes.
So, please hold this one for after the release is out.
My 2 cents,

I can't reproduce this at all. At any rate, I'm going to check this in
because there were no other issues, I want to get it in for 2.047, and
it's a HUGE improvement over what was there before even if it's not
perfect. If you can give some hints on how to reproduce this, please
let me know.

Robert Jacques (who I know offline and, in fact, was the person who

asked me to post it for review and commit it to Phobos. See the

impl in std.numeric and check it in.
It's awesome that someone's working on this -- I've seen people
complaining about the state of CustomFloat several times. (I think the
last time was when we discussed the possibility of using an 80-bit
CustomFloat in Masahiro's msgpack library, to wrap 80-bit reals on
systems that don't support them.)
That said, I'm having some problems with it. Looking at the code and
documentation, the following should be correct usage:
alias CustomFloat!16 float16;
However, compiling it with DMD 2.046, I get the errors
customfloat.d(430): Error: template instance ToBinary!(real)
does not match template declaration ToBinary(F) if
(is(CustomFloat!(F.sizeof * 8)))
customfloat.d(430): Error: ToBinary!(real) is used as a type
