And that's something that clearly causes bugs in way that
converting between signed and unsigned integers does not.
You're fighting for a lost cause on this one.

You do realize that, technically, there are no comparisons
between basic signed and unsigned integers in D? The reason that
*attempting* such a comparison produces such weird results, is
because the signed value is being implicitly cast to an unsigned
type.
The thing you say *is* a problem, is directly caused by the thing
that you say is *not* a problem.
