Apart from C legacy, is there a reason to assume anything we don't know what is, is an int? Shouldn't the compiler instead say 'unknown type' or something

C++ abandoned default int. I think it would be best for D to do the same.

D never had default int. When there's an error, the compiler just has to choose *some* type, so that it doesn't crash <g>.

It could be an Error type (that's not an alias for int type) that don't start to spit errors everywhere and instead just blocks all further errors on that type.
