A couple already agreed upon ones are typedef and the cfloat,

and creal types.
What's your list?
* The >>> operator, which does nothing except introduce bugs (It
does NOT perform an unsigned shift).
What does it do? I use this all over the place, I assumed it worked...
maybe I have bugs?
It does work, but it behaves in unexpected ways for narrow signed
integers (short/byte) because it sign-extends them before shifting. It
works fine with int/uint/long/ulong.
* Most of the __traits are useless and redundant.
Which traits are useless and redundant? I'm actually finding the set is
incomplete, and there are some missing (parameter list introspection,
current scope/object identification, current module/package)
+1.
