We really need to standard algorithms to be fast and perhaps have separate ones for perfect technical accuracy.
While I agree with most of what you're saying, I don't think we should prioritize performance over accuracy or correctness. Especially for numerics people, precision is very important, and it can make a just as bad first impression if we don't get this right. We can however make the note in the documentation (which already talks about performance) a bit more prominent: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_iteration.html#sum
