This doesn't work, but it's supposed to work. Add this to bugzilla if it's not already present:

import std.conv: to;
void main() {
    auto r = to!real("0x1.0076fc5cc7933866p+40L");
    auto d = to!double("0x1.0076fc5cc7933866p+40L");
    auto f = to!float("0x1.0076fc5cc7933866p+40L");
}

Yep, and DbC too, and compile your D code with -w.
