Just saying, I see an integer. That's an integer according to the 
language (as far back as I can test, which is 2.060 released 2012). If 
that was somehow parsing as a float before, that was a bug in the 
parser. Since your first release is 0.9, released Jan 2018, I find it 
hard to believe this ever worked for you.

D is not a C compiler. Well it has an experimental one, but that 
shouldn't be relied on for testing.
