If you pull up run.dlang.org and run the code below with "All D 
compilers" (which goes back to 2.060) you can see what the error 
messages would have been. As I said above, if you remove the `.` 
or the `E` then it should have run fine (the server might time 
out with all compilers, but you can run it with the current 
version just fine). It is entirely possible that you have a typo 
in your code that is causing the issue and what you looked at 
previously didn't have the typo. No hidden agenda needed.

```d
void main()
{
     double x = 85886696878585969769557975866955695.E0;
}
```
