I am not sure that I understand this? Is there is a way of transforming the unsigned long long into something meaningful?

Zero treats all types as if the source were C/C++.

I am working on allowing the user to customize the way variables are being displayed (via Python scripts). I am doing it mainly for being able to display C++/STL containers in a sane way, but I think that with a little work it may do the trick for D types as well.
