This code runs fine but should fail in runtime:
---
void main()
{
    int[] arr;
    arr.length -= size_t.max; // Let's subtract a very big number
    assert(arr.length == 1); // Passes!
}
---

Also there is a question what to do with `arr.length -= -1`? I'd like this code
to be rejected as incorrect mixed signed/unsigned operation (see also Issue
259).

This is a compiler bug as dmd just calls `_d_arraysetlengthT` without any
information about operation type. I.e. it works like `arr.length = arr.length -
size_t.max`.
