This may not be true for too much longer-- both Intel and AMD are slowly phasing
the x86 FPU out. I think Intel already announced a server chip that omits it
entirely, though I can't find the corroborating link.
Consider that clang and g++ support 80 bit long doubles. D is hardly unique.
It's VC++ that does not.
