Imo abs should never be able to return a negative value

Yes, but phobos defines it to return a signed type, so 
theoretical it can return negative values. And they won't 
change that.

I really think it should return an unsigned type, but that's a 
"breaking change".
Bullshit policy!

Eeh... Why does it return unsigned in phobos? Is it just to stay 
compatible with C? 🤔
