Another stupid question. Using this logic substraction for two 
uint values should return int too, because it can produce 
negative result. Am I right or not?

Now this code

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
        uint a = 50;
        uint b = 60;
        auto c = a - b;

        writeln(typeid(c));
}
produce output "uint". It's some breakage in my logic. I am 
thinking that all integer-like types should behave similar way. I 
perceive char type as ubyte, that should be printed as symbol 
when using functions like writeln(). But the folowing example

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
        ubyte a = 50;
        ubyte b = 60;
        auto c = a - b;

        writeln(typeid(c));
}

produces output "int" like you said. Why there are so complicated 
rules in the *new* language. It's hard to understand the logic.
