My issue is this: I'm trying to convert character types to
integers using to!int from std.conv, and I'm getting, for
example, '0'->48, '1'->49, etc. It seems like there should be a
simple way around this, but it's eluding me.

Well, in ASCII (as well as UTF-8 and many others) the character 
'0' is represented by number 48, character '1' is 49 etc., so if 
you want to convert '5' to 5 you just need to subtract '0's 
number from it, e.g.
char c = ...;
int x = c - '0';
