Better to use U to be consistent with L (see below).

I would expect the following to work:
writeln( -9_223_372_036_854_775_808L);
But it doesn't compile:
Error: signed integer overflow
It looks like a compiler bug to me. If so, a very embarrassing one. :)
(You can use UL and LU as well.)

They go by "suffix". The officital documentation:
http://dlang.org/lex.html#integerliteral
My short mention of them start at the section "The L suffix":
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/literals.html#ix_literals.literal
(They were missing in my index section. Adding now...)
