real.max evaluates to: 1.18973e+4932

So, I'd expect to be able to store any value up to that... however
```
void main()
{
     writeln("Real max: ", real.max);
     foreach(i; 0..10){
         writefln!("1024 ^^ %s = %s")(i, real(1024 ^^ i));
     }
}

```
Output:
```
Real max: 1.18973e+4932
1024 ^^ 0 = 1
1024 ^^ 1 = 1024
1024 ^^ 2 = 1.04858e+06
1024 ^^ 3 = 1.07374e+09
1024 ^^ 4 = 0
1024 ^^ 5 = 0
1024 ^^ 6 = 0
1024 ^^ 7 = 0
1024 ^^ 8 = 0
1024 ^^ 9 = 0
```

You convert to real AFTER doing the exponent on an integer. 
change `real(1024 ^^ i)` to `real(1024) ^^ i` and you should get 
a different result.

Like some other languages, expressions are mostly evaluated in 
isolation. 1024 ^^ i is an int, which cannot represent anything close to 
real.max. :)

This should work:

   real(1024) ^^ i
