In C++ I can add two shorts together without having to use a

If automatic shrink is droped from the C legacy stuff, so
interger propagation should also be dropped (or changed to
propagate no further than to the actual size of a type). D has a
far better type system, throw away bad old C habits!
-> this would also make the defect comparison of signed to
unsigned types visible for small types and hopefully force the
introduction of the correct comparison!
