I think you are doing it only for literal values but in general, casts
can be very cumbersome and harmful.
For example, if we change the parameter from 'int' to 'long', the cast
in the function body is a bug to be chased and fixed:
// Used to be 'int arg'
void foo(long arg) {
// ...
auto a = cast(int)arg; // BUG?
// ...
}
void main() {
foo(long.max);
}
