No. This is D. It wouldn't be undefined at all. It would just wrap around to 
typeof(vote).min. That should be completely defined for integral types (for 
that matter, it's well-defined in C land too. It's just that you have issues 
with the size of the type changing depending on which machine you compile on). 
I'm not sure what happens with non-integral types though. I _was_ pretty much 
assuming an integral type.

But yes, that would be a problem, because you would have nullified all future 
votes. typeof(vote.max) / 2 it is then. ;)
