More precise language is to state that there is no "better match" 
and long should simply not ever match with bool because long is 
not the same thing as bool, ie, bool should not be seen as an 
integral type because it clearly isn't because it does not behave 
like one and has a completely different purpose in the language 
otherwise there'd be no need for a bool to have special 
differences that the other integrals do not have.

How do we get the problem fixed? The sooner it is done the 
better, otherwise  we'll be forever stuck with subtle bugs and D 
programmers complaining about it for the rest of eternity.
