Is there a compiler switch to catch this kind of error?

IMHO the compiler should bail a warning if it sees a logic
comparison between signed and unsigned / different integer
sizes. There is 50% chance that a implicit conversion was not
intended.
We have a solution for this problem in bugzilla:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259
This would allow for the above compare to simply work with all
integer types signed or unsigned and produce always the correct
result.
It was rejected because it would break old code that rely on this
misbehaviour (and even worse: the behaviour would be different
from what C does, oh my god!!)
