           Summary: std.math.traits.copysign returns the wrong value
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1

As written, the function simply returns its first parameter. Should likely
return cast(R) *pto, though my pointer syntax is rusty—surely doing all that
work with pto should have *some* point (no pun intended).

I’d honestly bump this up to critical, but if no one’s noticed this yet, maybe
it shouldn’t be—except copysign() can be called from cbrt(), at the very least.
It keeps cbrt() from being inferred pure on the MS runtime, I think; if I’m
wrong, that’s a separate bug.
