Not problems, but serious eye sores: Personally, I am really happy that
"ireal" and "creal" are going to drop out of the language specs. Now D
finally has the chance of being taken seriously by mathematicians...
(Anyone, who does not get it: imagine a language that calls floating
point values "fint" because they are "fractional integers". The same
language would probably also have the keywords "cvar" for "constant
variable" and "ntrue" for "not true"... :-) )
