Maybe it's time to introduce cast(signed) or cast(unsigned) to the

language, as bearophile suggests?

It's not terribly pretty, but you can always do this

auto foo = cast(Unsigned!(typeof(var))var;

or

auto bar = to!(Unsigned!(typeof(var)))(var);

- Jonathan M Davis

short signed(ushort n){ return cast(short)n; }
int signed(uint n){ return cast(int)n; }
long signed(ulong n){ return cast(long)n; }

int n = va_arg!uint(_argptr).signed;
