Except it doesn't work with literals properly:

float x;

assert(isIdentical(x, float.init)); // fails

This is what I'm trying to test.  It has to do with the fact that  
float.init is a literal, and I think it's automatically converted to  
real.init.

This code works:

float x;
float y;

assert(isIdentical(x, y));

I'm going to file a bug on this, float is float should just work!
