I really don't care about words, and about C, I want signed/unsigned

Like I mentioned afterwards, I think communication is important, so we should strive to have a clear understanding of the terms we and other people use.

But anyways, regarding this issue, I am satisfied. The D glossary and TDPL have precisely defined "undefined behavior", which I didn't know was the case. Also, the related term "implementation defined", which some people in the C world equivocate with "undefined behavior", has been used here in D, but in also in a more accurate way, distinct from "undefined behavior". So that's good.
