I don't think it's a good idea. In this case it's my fault, I should imagine that a size_t datatype exists for arrays.<BR>
BTW on generic cases with aliases it would be useful to have an error like :<BR>
<BR>
"Error: cannot implicity convert expression (leaves.length) of type size_t (ulong) to uint."<BR>
<BR>
If not, i'll fix it using ulong and then when i'll go back on 32bit (or on a case where alias is defined in another way) compiling will fail again.<BR>

DMD generally uses the actual type rather than the alias' name when
you're using an aliased type.
