Let us not forget that D does not compete with C (nobody can). D 
competes with C++, Nim, and so on. Even C++ keeps introducing new 
basic type to get better type safety for every new edition of the 
language. For instance, in C++ ```std::byte``` is not an 
arithmetic type.

This is an improvement, also for system level native programming.
