I think it is a bug (or maybe I should call it unexpected
compiler behavior) at a more fundamental level. Consider how both
clang and gcc treat literal suffix errors differently compared to
Dlang:
```
$ cat /tmp/test.d
```
```D
ulong test = 44LUNG;
```
```
$ ldc2 /tmp/test.d
/tmp/test.d(1): Error: semicolon expected following auto
declaration, not `NG`
/tmp/test.d(1): Error: no identifier for declarator `NG`
```
```
$ cat /tmp/test.c
```
```C
int long unsigned test = 44LUNG;
```
```
$ gcc /tmp/test.c
/tmp/test.c:1:26: error: invalid suffix "LUNG" on integer constant
1 | int long unsigned test = 44LUNG;
| ^~~~~~
$ clang /tmp/test.c
/tmp/test.c:1:28: error: invalid suffix 'LUNG' on integer constant
int long unsigned test = 44LUNG;
^
1 error generated.
```
