The fix had to be reverted, due to confusion and code breakage it would have
caused - see Dlang Bot links.

So the original issue still persists.

I personally think this should be left as-is. It's more a limitation of the
signed integral types than the abs function. Throwing an exception wouldn't be
good -it would break @nogc and nothrow callers and prevents using with
-betterC. A notification in function documentation should suffice.
