One of the very much appreciated updates here is "Implicit integral
conversions that could result in loss of significant bits are no longer
allowed.". An excellent enhancement, thank you.

But I am confused as this below compiles without complaint...
-----------
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
   byte iii;
   ubyte uuu = 250;
   iii = uuu;
   writefln("%s %s", iii, uuu);
}
-----------

Output is ...
-6 250

But I expected the compiler to complain that an unsigned value cannot by
implicitly converted to a signed value as that results in loss of
*significant* bits.
