On the other hand, being an engineer, I use the reals all the time and want them to stay. I would use the max precision supported by the cpu then fixed precision like double any day.

I suggest to remove the real type from D2 because:

D being a systems programming language should give access to the types supported by the CPU. If you don't like real, don't use it! It's not hard to avoid.

Furthermore, reals are supported by gcc and dmc, and part of D's mission is to interoperate with C's data types.
