A simple solution would be to just have unary + perform
integer promotion, as it does in C.
Wait, what? Is this another secret difference from C integer
promotion rules?
To me knowledge, the unary '+' in D is essentially a no-op (much
like it is in Java). Mimicking C promotion rules might help new
programmers coming to D from C or C++ feel more familiar with the
language. The caveat here would be that the unary '-' operator
would need to also perform a similar promotion for consistency.
