16bit half floating point type as defined in IEEE-754r in D?

[s_lange]

A 16 bit precision floating point type has been defined by the IEEE in 
the revision of the 754 floating point standard and declared as 
optional. These small data types are heavily used in all kinds of 
graphics rendering software. The most prominent example beeing the gl 
libraries of the OpenGL specs.

Are there any plans to support such a data type in future versions of D?
