UFCS from within classes

Hey there, I've experimented a little with UFCS today and ran 
into a problem.

My first question, which is kinda off-topic:
Why does D use the int type if you give it a number started with 
0x(hex), shouldn't it use uint for that ?

Here comes the real question:
I've extended the int by one function, which is the following 
(just to represent the problem):
public static T read(T)(int address)
{
	return cast(T)1;
}

It works perfectly if the function stands alone (is global), but 
it doesn't work if I put it into a class (because I want it to be 
a bit more organized) like that:
class CMemory
{
	public static T read(T)(int address)
	{
		return cast(T)1;
	}
}

I'm not able to write something like:
0x1212.CMemory.read!bool();


So the question is, how can I make it to be able to be used like 
this:
0x1212.read!bool();

but still organized within the class ?
