Yes, I truly wish those would be supported - not only to use them 
directly, but at least as fallback for e.g. safe multiplication 
(cent x = long * long; if(x > long.max) throw exception;)
 From the language reference I had strongly expected that cent and 
ucent are supported - a look into phobos destroyed that hope :-/
