Better to use U to be consistent with L (see below).

I would expect the following to work:

     writeln( -9_223_372_036_854_775_808L);

But it doesn't compile:

   Error: signed integer overflow

It looks like a compiler bug to me. If so, a very embarrassing one. :)

(You can use UL and LU as well.)

They go by "suffix". The officital documentation:

   http://dlang.org/lex.html#integerliteral

My short mention of them start at the section "The L suffix":

   http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/literals.html#ix_literals.literal

(They were missing in my index section. Adding now...)
