My understanding is that CustomFloat is now in good shape. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Andrei

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

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
