Is it possible to convert such records inside the structure to
the assigned type?
```d
struct MyVal
{
string value;
// Here it would be possible to use an alias to this, but
it can only be used 1 time
}
auto a = MyVal("100");
auto b = MyVal("11.2");
int MyInt = a; // Implicitly convert to target type
float myFloat = b; // Implicitly convert to target type
```
Here is an [example from the
documentation](https://dlang.org/spec/struct.html#alias-this),
but for "several" types, for example, with a cast check and a
return of the default value.
