Yeah, I hate this too. I don't know why there aren't overloads for the radix toString() for types other than long and ulong. Especially when you do it on an int and it gets sign-extended so you get something like FFFFFFFFFE0385AF

BTW, you can just use 16u as the radix in this case instead of cast(uint)16.

My point was that it complains even after I tell it that 1 is long and there are no two cases for the second argument...
