Walter didn't like the "extended" keyword, so he renamed it "real":

Several people hated "imaginary real" and "complex real", though ?

That's my understanding as well, with the 64-128 bit floating type.
I'd rather have the basic D types be of a fixed size, but that's me.

The pragmatic approach is to use some aliases, or doubles instead...
