This would be like

That (cast(size_t) -1) is the same as thing.max, meaning a will
never be greater than it.
Why does the first argument to iota have to be an int, and why
isn't there an error message when I pass something else?
Yeah, perhaps when you give it that -1 as the second argument
it should see it is signed and throw something.
After looking at the documentation and seeing CommonType!(int,
uint) is uint, I have to say that iota's behavior doesn't make
much sense.
