--- Comment #2 from Mathias LANG <pro.mathias.lang at gmail.com> ---
This 'bug' is still around in D2.
It looks like an heritage from C / C++, one of the bad kind.

It allows you to write gems such as:
```
uint func (int i) { return i; }

void main ()
{
  uint v = func(-42);
}
```

@Walter: Would you be okay with the idea of deprecating this ?
