When I concatenate arrays like this, I get a strange compile

Error: incompatible types for ((cast(int)a) ~ (cast(int)b)): 
'int' and 'int'

Code:

        return a ~ b ~ c;
}

Oh derp I already figured it out. It still is a strange error 
message though.

Not really. It gives you the expression, tells you the types are 
incompatible and tells you what those types were. The reason why 
you get int is because operations on integral types are promoted 
to int.

public ubyte[] toArray(ubyte a, ubyte b, ubyte c) { return [a, b, 
c]; }
