Discussing this here is probably useless, but: - Unfortunately what's "perfectly clear" for the computer is sometimes bug-prone anyway. - For me, and for Don and from other people that have had bugs in D caused by this, it seems they think of "bytes" as unsigned things. - C# uses sbytes, and ubytes. Enough said. Bye, bearophile
