I generally like the idea of making size_t strongly typed, but
that would necessitate X!size_t to become a distinct instantiation
from X!uint or X!ulong.
Furthermore, it would break all existing D programs that are
deliberately not 64 bit aware

You mean compilers that target a 32-bit platform and rely on the runtime
environment to ensure CTFE is consistent with runtime evaluation of the
same function?

Couldn't it be handled by a special switch on 64 bit compilers, and
disabled normally? That way, the default behavior doesn't change, but
all one would have to do is say "

...I totally meant "-alertx64compatability", but a "-MattSoucy" compiler
flag would be amusing as well. And scary that I would warrant a compiler
flag.
Either way, a flag like that would still require making size_t strongly
typed...
