           Summary: CustromFloat.epsilon yields infinity
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos

CustomFloat!(5, 2).epsilon yields infinity instead of expected 0.03125.

In my oppinion, if denormalized numbers are allowed, epsilon should just be
sign=0, exponent=0, significand=1. I don't know, how IEEE defines epsilon, if
denormalized numbers are not allowed.
