Hello, when playing with an array and indices that are later shifted to < 0, I found the following rather not intuitive behaviour: import std.stdio; void main() { uint j; writefln(j - 2); } results in 4294967294. I'm aware of the construction of uint, but shouldn't j be automatically converted to a larger type providing negative numbers (long) ? david

In my opinion it should either be illegal (and caught at compile time) or stay as is.
