Hi all.

Why type "real" does not have any suffix for explicit constant cast like "f" for float, "." for double, "u" for unsigned etc. Sometime it is necessary, and I have to write cast(real)123

See http://www.digitalmars.com/d/lex.html#floatliteral:
> Floats can be followed by one f, F, l  or L suffix.

"extended" has now been renamed to real, spec page is old...

float x = 1.0F;
double y = 1.0;
real z = 1.0L;

Also outdated: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/ctod.html#types

They should now be: float, double, real, ireal, creal.

Both instances now fixed. Thanks, -Walter

There's more like that on the Wiki4D, as requested:

Do you want a posting here or on the digitalmars.D.bugs list too ?
That can be arranged, if it helps to clean up the D specification.
