You should have read recent DMD & LDC release notes. ;)

Just laziness or people still thinking that you don't lose any

It's an oversight. Thanks for bringing it to our
I've discovered that the 'log' function as well several similar
functions are only defined as taking a real argument and
returning a real, unlike most other std.math functions, which
have triple definitions (also supporting double and float types).
This created a problem when I tried compiling
