Currently only casting to integer types is supported.

@n8sh created dlang/phobos pull request #7151 "std.bigint.BigInt: allow casting to & comparison with floating point numbers" fixing this issue:
- Fix Issue 20146 - Allow casting from std.bigint.BigInt to built-in floating point types
Fix Issue 20147 - Enable comparison (==, >, >=, <=, <) between std.bigint.BigInt and floating point numbers
Limitation: casting to & comparison with quadruple precision floating
point numbers are not supported. The path for 80 bit extended floats
use std.math.scalbn which currently is impure and non-CTFE-able.
