I think you are applying "common knowledge" to something where it
doesn't apply.
auto foo = cast(TickDuration) bar;
This is not unsafe, unless you claim that opCast is being
implemented in a dangerous manner (takes a Variant and converts
it to 32)
I'm really confused on what your argument is. It sounds like you
don't want to!() to be able and convert user types, but if it
does than it shouldn't be allowed to use cast.
I'm not sure what issue you are expecting to prevent by requiring
bar.toTickDuration() instead of using cast or to!().
