The explicit conversion `.length.to!int` has an extra benefit
I rarely use numbers over one million.
But do I have to consider numbers over `4 billion` every day?
If .length were to be an int, D could not handle array of more
than 2G bytes. The whole language would be useless on 64 bit
systems.
_Of bytes_ and if your messing with the type and still think
that's an important concern you could make it a long for 63 bits
and no silly 0-1 behavior
a signed index of a datatype that is 2 words will still compete
with the mythical computer ram of a max ram 64 bit machine; if
you have 64^2 ubytes maybe you should rotate your prospective and
store 256 counts of each.
