           Summary: Taking the sqrt of an integer shouldn't require an
                    explicit cast.

This one's been around for ages, but has just now started bothering me enough to file a bug report:

import std.math;

void main() {
    uint num = 1;
    auto ans = sqrt(num);
}

Error:
test.d(5): Error: function std.math.sqrt called with argument types:
    ((uint))
matches both:
    std.math.sqrt(float x)
and:
    std.math.sqrt(real x)

I guess the solution is to make long and ulong overloads that forward to
std.math.sqrt(real x).

Partially unrelated: an efficient D compiler can desire to implement the sqrt with SSE instructions like SQRTSS RSQRTSS SQRTPS and RSQRTPS, that have floats or doubles in input or output. So I think a double sqrt(double) too can be useful, to avoid the useless argument passing of 10-12-16 bytes (necessary for an argument of type real) for the computation of sqrt on a double.
