From a business point of view, having slightly more correct
string to float conversion holds very little value. I'll stick
with sscanf thanks...
For a high tech real markets (airspace, automotive, science,
military-industrial complex) having a correct decimal literal
parsing has a little but absolutely mandatory value. If SpaceX is
lending a rocket, they want it located on the platform, something
around wouldn't make sense. Note, that these companies hold a
huge amount of the legacy C/C++ code and they are potential Dlang
markets. But only if Dlang will be able to match C exactly for
numeric code. Otherwise merging C/C++ code would have a huge
negative impact on them.
