This prints the same values, using latest D2:


import std.stdio, std.conv;

void main() {
    real tot = 0;
    foreach(el; ["14539.34","1230.00","361.62","1613.10","0.00"])
        tot += to!real(el);
    writefln("%.5f\n", tot); // 17744.06000

    tot = 0;
    foreach(el; [14539.34,1230.00,361.62,1613.10,0.00])
        tot += to!real(el);
    writefln("%.5f\n", tot); // 17744.06000
}
