--- Comment #1 from hsteoh@quickfur.ath.cx ---
+1000! Having to write monstrosities like `b = cast(ubyte) -cast(int) b;` is
the one thing that ticked me off enough to start a forum discussion about it.

In any case, I've written an infectious wrapper type along the lines suggested
by Luis Marques (IIRC) that hides away this insane cast-o-mania, so I could
just write `b = -b.np` (np stands for No Promote[1], ie., it just truncates)
and it will Just Work(tm) without insanity-inducing nested casts.

[1] np can also stand for "no problem", as in, I don't have to care about squint-inducing casts anymore. :-D
