[comp.sources.d] When is

To raise a point, I can think of a number of cases where
(long)3 and 3L are not necessarily equivalent and the former
would in fact generate 'incorrect' code.

I leave it as an exercise to determine what conditions would
cause this to occur, interested readers can email me, with
enough response I may be persuaded to summarise and post
some sample solutions.
