I can't agree more to this, Jacob...
Seriously people... "std.halffloat" ???

I'll agree too. HalfFloats are more a special case with certain circles of programmers that need those. The majority of programmers (95%+) won't care about half floats, nor would it be needed; It would be akin to making std.bitop instad of core.bitop.

You could HalfFloats to std.math; Right next to cos, sin and tan. std.mathspecial doesn't seem like it would be closely enough tied to make it an option.

Alternatively make a std.customtypes for related misc types like this as they are added to phobos.
