Re: The cast(signed), cast(unsigned) feature proposal

[Mrzlga]

I don't know the story of how D resolved to not provide 'ulong' 
and 'unsigned long' as equivalent, but I do understand the 
motivation to keep things short and standard, with 
1-word-per-basic-type.

I should say one thing though,
In C / C++:

unsigned x = f();   // this was traumatic. "unsigned" was an 
actual type itself, not just a type qualifier.
