LONG_MAX in D

[Unknown W. Brackets]

Do you just want to know the maximum value stored in a signed size_t?

Isn't that ptrdiff_t.max?  But if you don't know that, how is it useful? 
(I mean, if you're not using that type to store it I hardly understand 
what use the number is...)

D.learn is for learning the language, D is for talking about the 
language.  As far as I understand.  I'd ask "how do I?" questions in 
D.learn, but that's just me.
