--- Comment #1 from Zach the Mystic <reachzach@gmail.com> ---
I tested it and this works:

// change this:
// value = -(cast(T)-header);

// to this:
value = cast(T)cast(byte)header;

header is a ubyte. When changed to a byte, in this context, it becomes negative. The compiler then creates a corresponding negative int.

...or whatever negative Integral type it requires. (I did only test it with `int`, but I think it should work regardless.
