dmd's spell checker only looks a distance of one, and uint64 is a distance of two from uint64_t. This is trivially changed, but I didn't do the longer distances because of the annoyances of false positives - variable name spelling doesn't work like english language spelling.
The issue is not, as has been suggested, that dmd doesn't do spelling checks on types.
There's really nothing "amazing" about a spell checker, it's just a better idea than not doing it.
