I don't see anything that needs to be fixed, because I don't 
think anything is broken - there is nothing that violates my 
understanding of floating point precision in D.

cast is not round. What is broken is a program that attempts to 
convert a double to an integer type using a cast rather than the 
functions that were written to do it correctly.
