Holy shit, it's just occurred to me that 'real' is only 64bits on arm

There are some that support 128 bits.
That means a compiler running on an arm host will produce a different
binary than a compiler running on an x86 host!! O_O
That's probably why VC++ dropped 80 bit long double support entirely.
Me, I think of that as "Who cares that you paid $$$ for an 80 bit CPU, we're
going to give you only 64 bits."
It's also why I'd like to build a 128 soft fp emulator in dmd for all compile
time float operations.
