That said, I belive opImplicitCastFrom is The Right Solution™. It's
explicit,
it's a bit ugly, but not so much it hurts.
Yes, "opImplicitCastFrom" looks better. I didn't know about
"WalterAndrei.pdf" file. Can you give me a link to the file? It's
intresting to read.

It's from the D conference back in 2007, as the URL indicates.
opImplicitCastFrom is mentioned on page 22. It's kinda interesting
to see what was happening back then and how things have progressed.
