Is D floating point semantics too advanced?

[Hans-Eric Grönlund]

Point taken. Still feel awkward about having to accept tests like (x != x) with hidden (not obvious) semantics, special for floating point types. But I shall not hold D responsible for it anymore, this is a matter of the standard specification.

Thank you for enlightening me.
