handling T.min the right way

[Andrei Alexandrescu (See Website For Email)]

A while ago, C++ did the mistake of defining 
std::numeric_limits<T>::min() with a different semantics for 
floating-point types than for integral types. That hurt generic numeric 
code a lot.

D has taken over the same mistake: T.min means the smallest value of the 
type, except for floating-point types, where it means the smallest 
positive value.

The right way is to have T.min always return the minimum value (duh) and 
define a separate property T.min_positive.

The question is, would a lot of code be hurt by such a change?
