`u` is not a type, but is reported as if it were in mismatched types message

[pnkfelix]

Here is a bad message I got from some code today:

/tmp/t.rs:4:9: 4:22 error: mismatched types: expected `u32` but found `uint` (expected `u32` but found `u`)
/tmp/t.rs:4     foo(1*(1 as uint));
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
error: aborting due to previous error

Note the strange parenthetical: "(expected u32 but found u)"

Source code to reproduce:

fn foo(_s: u32) { }

fn main() {
    foo(1*(1 as uint));
}
