This should compile:
void main() {
byte a = 5;
byte b = 10;
short c = 9;
auto i = 5 & 10;
auto j = ~c
assert(typeof(i) == typeid(byte));
assert(typeof(j) == typeid(short));
}
Because C code will not behave differently and since it is a smaller type it
can only cause C code not to compile. And in reality it the change should only
effect D code that uses type inference, but will not result in any broken code
since byte is implicitly an int.
