This should be no surprise. You need to know what the
resulting type of int + uint should be. And it is ...... uint!
which is one of the stupit integer-promotion rules inherited
from C.
Then let's change the example to:
int b = -4;
writeln(-abs(b));
What would one normally expect to be printed here? Should the
unary minus operator also do some kind of implicit "unsigned ->
signed" type change magic to accommodate this modified version
of the abs function and make it behave in a non-surprising way?
What I would like is for it to mirror math.
