This is not about integers but yeah, I'd like the better str<-> float
conversions of Python in D too.
Do you have any test data that they actually are better in Python
(apart
from just being better specified)?
I can tell Google's double-conversion routines (http://goo.gl/RU5g4)
are faster
than sprintf/sscanf, in addition to being better specified. We use
them at
Facebook.
Darn, licensing problems:
"Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright

This is a general issue. Can it be overcome by distributing the text in
the HTML documentation included with the download?
It's the "binary form" phrase that's a problem. Does it mean "executable
form" rather than "text form", or "digital" rather than "hardcopy" form?
