I stumbled into this fun today. I understand why abs yields a
negative value here with overflow and no promotion. I just want
to know if it should. Should abs ever return a negative number?
Thanks.
Okay I checked the phobos docs and it does say "Limitations
Does not work correctly for signed intergal types and value
Num.min." Should have looked there first, I know. Still seems
pretty silly.
