Description Mikael Segercrantz 2007-08-27 12:15:14 UTC 
Original proposal at:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/36360.html

Modification to proposal:
Combine, as Don suggested, the long and ulong archetypes.

Calling multi-argument functions without exact match and matching multiple semantic-changing conversions should cause an error by the compiler.
Comment 1 Andrei Alexandrescu 2016-12-22 15:04:04 UTC 
Such would be too large a breaking change.
