I have spent a lot of time trying to design the best checked 
integer type possible for Phobos, and I intend to finish the job 
(hopefully soon).

Nevertheless, I fully agree with Ola: compiler support (similar 
to how array bounds checking is handled already) would be much 
better than any library solution could be. Doing it right would 
also be a fundamental breaking change, though, so this will have 
to wait for a hypothetical D3.
