Can't solving any overloading problem be deferred? An incomplete 
solution is better than nothing.

As for explicit casts, they are easily avoided using std.conv:

uint u = unsigned(-1);
int i = signed(uint.max);

The compiler can recommend these instead of explicit casts.

Also, please note the pull request I linked tries hard using VRP to 
avoid nagging the user with warnings/errors that it can detect are 
unnecessary.

Given that Andrei pre-approved the design last April year*, it seems 
surprising there's not yet been a solution.
