That would be pretty hideous IMHO. There's a reason that D eschews implicit conversions in general. And in this case, you'd very quickly end up with accidental conversions which resulted in exceptions being thrown by Variant. I think that it's _much_ better to require explicit conversions from Variant. - Jonathan M Davis
