typedefs are useless

Thank you for the code.

However, there are still 2 problems with it:

1. Every time I define a typedef of the same base type, the operators are 
reinstantiated.  This makes for tremendous code bloat.
2. I cannot create const versions with operators.

i.e. how do I do this:

typedef long myType;

const myType x1 = cast(myType)5;

const myType x2 = x1 * cast(myType)5;
