This is a new module. Some (quite short) time ago there was even 
no any support for i128.
And support of this type is quite new for all languages (not only 
for D): 
https://forums.swift.org/t/status-check-int128-uint128/67694

And I'm not sure this module should be imported for everyone by 
default. If it adds size into binary and some complexity into 
internals, while usage of i128 not so common..
So first of all - keep calm, add more technical knowledge, 
instead of impulsive ranting.

There is also BigInt which is usually going into a separate 
module in many languages.

But I agree that numeric types could be revisited and improved - 
probably into one module: Numerics with separate sub-modules 
(i128, f16, f8, BigInt, etc).

As I already mentioned in Discord half-float (bad name btw) which 
is usually called float16 was ready for merge - but then some 
strange comments for PR about process and other bs.. and the code 
just became abandoned and forgotten.
