Thanks for your consideration :)
FWI, you can use std.trait's Signed and Unsigned as a partial
alternative.
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_traits.html#.Signed
IMO, not quite as elegant. I support this syntax. It's natural,
and I *think* the "keywords" are reserved anyways, so that
shouldn't be a problem anyways. We already have "cast(const)"
anyways, so cast(signed) is (imo) only natural. I'd almost
expect it to work.
I think this isn't the first time it has been brought up
either. Unless I'm mistaken, user Bearophile has opened a
request for this. Not 100% sure though. Gonna look for it.
EDIT: Couldn't find it. Must have been my imagination. Didn't
realize we had "signed" too (as opposed to "Signed"), so I'm not
sure how useful that would be actually.
I still find it idiomatic though.
