I don't think it's a good idea. In this case it's my fault, I should
imagine that a size_t datatype exists for arrays.
BTW on generic cases with aliases it would be useful to have an error like :
"Error: cannot implicity convert expression (leaves.length) of type
size_t (ulong) to uint."
If not, i'll fix it using ulong and then when i'll go back on 32bit (or
on a case where alias is defined in another way) compiling will fail again.

DMD generally uses the actual type rather than the alias' name when
you're using an aliased type.

I agree, that could be useful. Could you file a Bugzilla bug?
