Well I don't know about this, but of course I think (That if not)
we should have at least a flag like we have with GCC (-Wextra).
Searching about I found in this topic:
https://forum.dlang.org/post/hhpacodmcibejatqzdfg@forum.dlang.org
"Good luck adding a warning into DMD. After years there still
isn't a warning for unsigned/signed comparisons."
This is from 2017, so let's wait for experienced weighting in.
