Ah, ok. Of course the small types always become int.
But the problem would be the same with
long a = long.min;
auto b = -a;
does this return ulong (which could hold the correct result) or long (and a
wrong result)?
The negation operator does not change the type, and no operation changes the
type as the result of particular runtime operand values.
BTW, Python has what you want - runtime overflow automatically fails over to
bignum. But Python is a slow language.
