Comment (by danieljames):

 It looks like calling `ldexp` is ambiguous because you've used `using
 namespace streflop` in the global namespace (otherwise I don't see how
 that namespace would be considered). That's a pretty dubious thing to do
 since `ldexp` is defined in the global namespace and this makes it
 ambiguous. I can possibly fix this, but it's an annoying complexity to
 deal with for something that you probably shouldn't do. Looking at the
 streflop documentation, it's intended to be protected by a namespace so
 that it won't affect third party code.
