Nope, these FP type properties represent the target type's. 
There's just no way of knowing the compile-time precision at the 
moment, at least for LDC (DMD is x86 only and currently always 
uses a x87 `real_t`). For LDC, it's the host `real` precision, 
except for MSVC hosts, where it uses x87 (Rainer's custom 
implementation in dmd.root.longdouble).
