This seems a bit overkill to me:
It's also possible to avoid any type ambiguity by writing
integer literals with a suffix. The suffixes i and u are for
the types int and uint, respectively: the literal -3i has type
int, while 127u has type uint. For the fixed-size integer
types, just suffix the literal with the type name: 255u8,
50i64, etc.
Many good ideas... am just singling out this one, as you seem to
be of a different opinion in this particular case... I on the
contrary wish D would have taken this route as well, because of
the ubiquitous 'auto' and 'implicit template instantiation'
features... furthermore vector simd types could also benefit.
