I'll make the changes.
It won't work. sqrt is a compiler intrinsic, and can't be changed to a
template without modifying the compiler.
(Smacks hand against forehead.) I realized that right after I sent that
message. I guess the options are, then:
1. Modify the compiler. I guess the easiest way would be to rename the
sqrt() intrinsic to sqrtImpl() and have a function called sqrt() in
std.math that forwards to sqrtImpl().
2. Live with it for now. It's an extremely annoying bug in that
math-heavy code runs into it constantly, but it's an easy bug to work
around.
3. Get rid of sqrt(float). Walter, or whoever put it there in the
first place: Why is it there? Do we really need it?
4. Make explicit overloads for every single numeric type. This is ugly
but do-able and would definitely be a 100% solution.
