In some ways I wonder why D's types aren't just specified according to the 
number of bits -- int8, int16, int32, int64 instead of byte, short, int, long. 
I suppose on balance it's probably less readable and easier to make mistakes 
writing.

More generally -- is it considered desirable to provide not only the C-like 
translation, but also a higher-level "D-ified" wrapper?  Or is that considered 
overkill for Deimos?
